<a href="https://www.goldbergkohn.com/people/david-morrison/">David Morrison</a>, a principal in the firm's Litigation and Labor &amp; Employment groups, is quoted in "Employee Can Proceed with Bias Lawsuit Despite Failure to File EEOC Charge," published in the June 3, 2019, edition of SHRM.org.

core/paragraph

The article discusses Fort Bend County v. Davis, a Title VII case recently decided by the United States Supreme Court. The court ruled in a unanimous opinion&nbsp;that&nbsp;"the requirement to file charges with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or similar state agencies isn't a jurisdictional issue." In other words, the onus is on employers to assert in a timely way that a plaintiff failed to meet the charge-filing requirements under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, or they waive that defense.

As a result, Mr. Morrison advises that "employers and their counsel should bring any procedural defects to the court's attention at the earliest practical juncture."&nbsp;
