Where a 180-day look-back matters
- Workplace discrimination charges. In the US, a charge of discrimination generally has to be filed with the EEOC within 180 days of the incident. This is extended to 300 days in many states with their own fair employment agencies. If something happened after Wednesday, April 8, 2026, you are generally still within the basic deadline.
- Schengen travel. The 90/180 rule looks back 180 days from each day of your stay. Count the days you spent in the Schengen Area since Wednesday, April 8, 2026. The total must not exceed 90.
- Half-year reviews. Six-month performance, budget and health checkups compare today with roughly Wednesday, April 8, 2026.
180 days vs six months
Six calendar months are 181 to 184 days, so “six months ago” is usually a day or a few days earlier than “180 days ago”. Legal and immigration rules that say 180 days mean exactly 180 days, so count the days rather than the months.
These deadlines have exceptions, and filing late can mean losing your rights, so check with the relevant agency or a lawyer as soon as you can.
