Question: Elizabeth Westman was employed by Valley Technologies as an engineering technician. On June 15, 1997, she was terminated after being informed by her supervisor that the company was experiencing financial difficulties and could no longer afford to employ her. Westman subsequently learned, on May 15, 1998, that she was terminated so that her supervisor could hire a less qualified male technician in her place. Upon learning of the real reason for her discharge, Westman immediately filed a complaint with the EEOC. The employer argued that her complaint should be dismissed because it was not filed within the time limit required under Title VII. Will her complaint be dismissed or was it properly filed? Explain your answer. See Reeb v. Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. [516 F.2d 924 (5th Cir. 1975)].
