I fired a part time employee in April of 2004. She refused to report to work for two weeks because she calimed she was frightened of a male employee. She demanded in writing that he be fired. It is a "he said, she said" type of case with no witnesses. Also, the male employee in question has a spotless record of over 20 years with the company and I have received numerous letters of support for him from all of the female employees of the company. The fired employee filed a complaint with the EEOC and, in November 2004, they dismissed her complaint. I received a "Notice of Suit Rights" from the EEOC in which they informed the fired employee that, in order to pursue the matter, she had 90 days to file a suit.
Now, some 14 months later, she has retained the services of a lawyer and is threatening to sue in State Court.
Is there a different statute of limitations for such cases on a state level?
