I have a bully director and i'm leaving at the end of June. Can I submit a complaint to HR about him the day I leave? Thanks

Why? If you are leaving? If the Director was discriminating against employees because of their race, color, religion, gender, national origin, disability, age or other protected class then you probably would have reported that to HR already. And HR would have been compelled to investigate and take some corrective action. If they did not you might have set yourself up for a decent severance package had you timed it correctly with the help of an employment lawyer. But it sounds like you just decided to leave for a better or more sane work environment.

Bullying by itself is often not illegal as long as it's an equal opportunity bullier meaning everyone regardless of protected class gets to feel the bullier's wrath. It often trickles down. Top management think that bullies are good and if you work for a company that has that philosophy, complaining might do you more harm than good. You did not complain earlier maybe because everyone was bullied? If that was the case name one good reason to complain when you leave other than thinking you might feel better.
