How courts have described this case

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

• holding that a “contractually shortened limitation period, outside of an arbitration agreement, is incompatible with the grant of substantive rights and the elaborate pre-suit enforcement mechanisms of Title VII” (emphasis added)
• recognizing that there can be no prospective waiver of Title VII claims
• explaining that the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)’s limitation period set forth in 29 U.S.C. § 255(a) applies to EPA claims
• noting that “a protected individual may not simply sue a recalcitrant employer under Title VII without having first brought the dispute before the EEOC for resolution”
• the exhaustion requirement “afford[s] non-compliant employers the chance to voluntarily cure their violations before Title VII litigation may be brought against them”
• “‘Ordinary limitations of actions are treated as laws of procedure, and as belonging to lex fori, as affecting the remedy only, and not the right.’”
