1992In Less v. Nestle Co. Inc., 705 F.Supp. 110, 114 (W.D.N.Y.1988), the court precluded an employee’s constructive discharge claim at trial when the administrative charge had only alleged age discrimination. 3 Absent any notice that defendant was being charged with [coercing an employee to retire], the [department of human rights] would not be expected to independently uncover facts showing that defendant unlawfully coerced plaintiff into taking early retirement when the investigation focused on facts constituting discrimination.
