Susan Baba v. Warren Management Consultants, Inc., N.Y. State Division of Human Rights, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

# Susan Baba v. Warren Management Consultants, Inc. **What Happened** Susan Baba filed a discrimination complaint against her employer, Warren Management Consultants, Inc., claiming unfair treatment based on a protected characteristic. She pursued her complaint through both state and federal agencies responsible for handling discrimination cases. **What the Court Decided** The appeals court sided with the employer. The judges ruled that Baba's complaint against Warren Management Consultants arrived too late—it exceeded the time limit for filing such claims. The court also dismissed her claims against the government agencies, finding those dismissals were proper. **Why This Matters for Workers** This case highlights the importance of timing when reporting discrimination. Workers have a limited window to file formal complaints with government agencies or courts. Missing this deadline, even by a small amount, can result in losing the right to pursue a case entirely. If you experience discrimination at work, it's crucial to act quickly and understand the filing deadlines in your state and under federal law.
