Adamczyk v. Augat, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that the limitations period commenced on the date plaintiffs were notified that their employment would be terminated, not on the actual termination date
• holding that there could be no genuine issue as to the date of the alleged discriminatory act or as to the employees’ cognizance of their prospective termination dates because they received more than one unequivocal notice of termination
• noting, with respect to claim of unlawful discrimination under Chapter 151B, that “[c]ourts apply the principle of equitable tolling sparingly in employment discrimination cases”
• statute of limitations not equitably tolled where defendant made no affirmatively misleading statements to lull plaintiffs into not asserting claims
• statute of limitations on discriminatory discharge claims begins to run when plaintiff notified of termination, not when actual separation from employment occurs
