Claims for Discrimination - Observe the deadline

In the summer of 2008, a severely handicapped had applied for a teacher’s office at a correctional institution in Saarland. The refusal letter was sent to him on August 2nd. On 4.11. Saarland received a letter in which the applicant claimed discrimination.


Since the country rejected this, he complained. In all instances unsuccessful: The Federal Labor Court ruled that he had missed the two-month period of § 15 (4) of the General Equal Treatment Act, which begins with the knowledge of the circumstances of the disadvantage - he should have been invited to a discussion discussion. The claim on 4.11. Was too late. The time-limit is compatible with European law. Federal Labor Court (8 AZR 160/11)
