Age Discrimination in Employment
The federal Age Discrimination Act of 1975 protects workers from any different treatment based on age. Employers that violate these laws are subject to fines and other punishments. They may also be found liable for damages to the person who was the victim of the discrimination.
The act protects workers who are over age 40 from unequal treatment in regard to:
- Hiring
- Advancement
- Benefits
- Termination
The law is intended to protect people from employers who feel that advanced age equates to lack of performance. Our attorneys are here to pursue compensation for the financial and emotional damages you have suffered due to age discrimination in the workplace. We realize that all you want is a fair chance to work and contribute your skills and experience to your occupation. We are dedicated to helping you do just that.
