Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)
Like all laws regarding employment, the ADEA was created with positive intentions. It was designed to prevent employers from discriminating based on an employee's age.
An unfortunate repercussion for employers of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act is that it has provided employees with another civil right to file discrimination lawsuits. Frequently, an employee is terminated because of his or her failure to satisfactorily perform the duties of the job or a reduction in force. Yet the employee believes that they have been terminated because of his or her age and file a lawsuit.
Our law firm is here to stand up for employers facing allegations of age discrimination. Whether you have been accused of failure to hire, failure to promote, harassment, hostile work environment, retaliation or termination because of age discrimination, we can help.
We can pursue positive results in cases of individual age discrimination lawsuits, as well as class actions.
Reduction in Force
Increasingly, a reduction in force is becoming a precursor to age discrimination claims. Older employees misinterpret company-wide budget cuts as a way to "make room" for the younger generation. Our law firm advises employers on ways to proceed with the reduction while minimizing the risks of potential lawsuits. We also defend employers already involved in an age discrimination dispute related to a reduction in force.
