Iowa Admin. Code r. 875-36.6

Current through Register Vol. 47, No.14, January 8, 2025

Rule 875-36.6 - [Effective 1/29/2025] Filing of complaint for discrimination or discharge

(1) Any employee who believes that discrimination in violation of Iowa Code section 91A.10(5) has occurred may, within 30 days after the violation occurs, lodge a complaint with the director alleging the violation. No particular form is required. If, as a result of the investigation, the director determines that Iowa Code section 91A.10(5) has been violated, civil action may be instituted in any appropriate district court to restrain the violations and to obtain other appropriate relief.

(2) Complaints not filed within 30 days of an alleged violation will ordinarily be presumed to be untimely. However, there may be circumstances that would justify tolling of the 30-day period on recognized equitable principles or because of strongly extenuating circumstances.

Adopted by IAB December 25, 2024/Volume XLVII, Number 13, effective 1/29/2025
