The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday gave plaintiffs in workplace discrimination cases more time to file complaints against their employers. By a 7-1 vote, the court said the 45-day deadline for initiating a constructive-discharge claim can begin running from the day the employee resigns—not the day of the last discriminatory workplace incident. Business advocates criticized the decision, which could enable lawsuits filed years after alleged discriminatory acts occur.
