You are the judge hearing a Motion for Summary judgment filed by an employer in the case of
an employee who has been terminated. The employee was the sole African-American customer
service representative at the firm, who had a lengthy record of good evaluations. However, she
received more negative evaluations over a period of three years after a new supervisor was
hired, and the more stringent requirements applied to her were not applied to white employees.
After 3 years, the employee was then selected for termination in a downsizing based on the
previous 3 years’ evaluations. Based on this evidence, what should you decide?

In question # 3 above, evidence is introduced that the statute of limitations for filing an EEOC
claim is 300 days in the state where the case was filed. Since the performance appraisals which
were allegedly tainted by race were issued more than 300 days before the case was filed, the
employer moves to dismiss the case, arguing that the statute of limitations has passed, the case
has been filed too late. Based on this evidence, what should you decide?
Selected a.
Answer: the Motion to Dismiss should be denied because the case of a termination based
on tainted performance evaluations may be filed at any time
Answers: a.
the Motion to Dismiss should be denied because the case of a termination based
on tainted performance evaluations may be filed at any time
b.
the case should be dismissed because the tainted evaluations triggered the
employee’s right to file a cause of action, and the case should have been filed
within 300 days of the first tainted performance appraisal
c.
the Motion to Dismiss should be denied because the employee’s right to file a
cause of action accrued when she was terminated, and not when a tainted
performance evaluation was created
d.
the case should be dismissed because the statute of limitations has passed, and the
case was filed too late
