Section 31-379-15 - Filing of complaint for discrimination(a)Who may file. A complaint pursuant to section 31-379 of the Connecticut General Statutes may be filed in writing by the employee or the employee's designated representative.(b)Place of filing. The complaint shall be filed with the labor commissioner no later than one-hundred eighty days after the alleged violation.(c) If a complaint is filed beyond the one hundred-eighty day period, such period may be tolled by the commissioner on the basis of equity or because of compelling extenuating circumstances, including but not limited to, instances when the employer has concealed, or misled the employee regarding the grounds for discharge or other adverse action or instances when the discrimination is in the nature of a continuing violation. The pendency of grievance-arbitration proceedings or the filing of a complaint with another agency are circumstances which shall not toll the one hundred-eighty day period. In the absence of circumstances justifying a tolling of the one hundred-eighty day period, untimely complaints shall not be processed.Conn. Agencies Regs. § 31-379-15
