The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Colorado Civil Rights Division perform similar functions to investigate and remedy discrimination. You have 300 days from the day the discrimination occurs to file a report with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. You have only 180 days to make a report to the Colorado Civil Rights Division. After you have a determination from their investigation, there is a limit of 90 days to initiate your civil lawsuit for damages. Failing to meet deadlines can prevent you from getting justice. It’s always important and beneficial to work with our Fort Collins employment discrimination attorneys as soon as possible.
