Are there any time frames in which a disability discrimination complaint must be filed?

Yes, there are time frames in which a disability discrimination complaint must be filed in South Carolina. According to the South Carolina Human Affairs Law (§1-13-80), a disability discrimination complaint must be filed within 180 days of the alleged discrimination. This means that the person filing the complaint must be able to demonstrate that the alleged discrimination occurred within 180 days of the date they filed the complaint. In some cases, however, the person may be able to show that the alleged discrimination is continuing and, in that case, the 180 day period may be extended. Under South Carolina’s disability discrimination law, an employer, organization, or public agency may not discriminate against a person with a disability. This includes disparate treatment, such as refusing to hire or promote a person with a disability, or denying them certain benefits or services. It also prohibits employers from failing to make “reasonable accommodations” for a person with a disability. If you believe you have been the victim of disability discrimination, it is important to act quickly to ensure that your complaint is heard in a timely manner. While the 180 day period is designed to protect your rights, it is also important to recognize that some legal matters can be complex. Therefore, it is advisable to contact a qualified civil rights attorney if you believe you may have a valid claim under South Carolina’s disability discrimination laws.
