Workplace Discrimination
Our employment division can handle workplace discrimination, harassment, retaliation, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour disputes, and class action inquiries.
Age discrimination becomes an issue when employees over the age of 40 experience unfair treatment on the job based specifically on age. Such treatment is illegal under both federal and state law.
Specifically, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibits age discrimination at the federal level. The Act applies to companies with 15 or more employees and requires that employers refrain from singling out workers over the age of 40 in the terms and conditions of employment as well as in job advertisements.
California Law
The state of California addresses age discrimination in the Fair Housing and Employment Act (FEHA). Like the ADEA, the FEHA prohibits age discrimination for workers over the age of 40 in all areas of employment, but, unlike the ADEA, extends coverage to employers with five or more full-time or part-time workers.
Both federal and state law provide remedies for retaliation based on age discrimination as well. The ADEA and the FEHA make it illegal for an employer to retaliate against employees who file age discrimination complaints or charges or who participate in age discrimination court proceedings.
