discrimination
What is the statute of limitations in Ohio for filing against an employer who made promises several times (President Level) of a promotion within a specified timeframe and then did not do so but promoted a man instead? Obviously I am a woman.

The statute of limitations for verbal contracts and sex discrimination is six years
A claim that an employer made but failed to keep a promise (of a promotion) is a contract claim. I believe that the statute of limitations for a verbal contract is six years.
A claim that an employer promoted a man instead of an equal or better qualified female, because she is female, is sex discrimination claim. Ohio law and federal law prohibit sex discrimination in employment. The statute of limitations for the Ohio discrimination claim is six years (but only six months for age discrimination). The statute of limitations for federal employment discrimination is 300 days.
