Scroll the table sideways to see every column.
| claim | free route | statute |
|---|---|---|
| Landlord & tenant a landlord keeping my deposit | — | Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1416 |
| Employment unpaid overtime | The Labor Standards office of the Department of Labor takes a wage complaint form for past due or unpaid wages, payroll disputes, unauthorised deductions and minimum wage. Nebraska has no overtime rule of its own, so the overtime itself is the federal claim above.↗ | — |
| Consumer a debt collector harassing me | The Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division takes the complaint and it is free. Nebraska has no fair debt collection act of its own, so the specific rules are the federal ones above and the state route is the general Consumer Protection Act.↗ | — |
| Employment being fired for complaining | Your EEOC deadline here is 300 days rather than 180, and the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission is the reason: the extension in 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1) turns on whether a state agency has authority over the same conduct, and here one does. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 48-1118(2) sets the same 300 days for the state charge, so both clocks end on the same day. Both clocks end on the same day, and filing with either office is free.↗ | — |
| Injury a car accident | — | Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-207(3) |
