Under the anti-retaliation provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the statute of limitations is just 180 days from the date that the employee becomes aware of the adverse employment action. The only exception is for hostile work environment claims. For those claims, you can aggregate all the instances of harassment that, in the aggregate, would form a hostile work environment, as long as one of those instances occurred within the 180-day period. That's why, when I speak to a new client, we try to identify all the adverse employment actions and try to determine whether we're close to that 180-day period. I will note, however, that you can plead adverse employment actions outside the 180-day period because it's helpful evidence. But the only ones that will be actionable, that will allow you to get a recovery, are the ones that happened within that 180-day period.
