Yes that's true you have a year from when the last act of discrimination/harassment occurred to for a period of one year to file claim with the DFEH and then after you file your complaint with the DFEH,, your complaint with the DEF EH, you have one year from then to file a complaint in civil court

I am not your attorney and do not represent you. you should not rely on this post as legal advice. if you believe that you have been you have a claim for discrimination or harassment or any other employment claim you should contact an employment lawyer right away.
