How it works

Kansas has a work-sharing agreement with the EEOC. A charge filed with Kansas Human Rights Commission is generally also considered filed with the EEOC ("dual-filed"), and vice versa. You usually only need to file once.

Key notes

Kansas's state protections largely mirror federal law. Workers should note the shorter 6-month deadline to the KHRC. File with the EEOC simultaneously to preserve the full 300-day federal window.
