Both employees and job applicants aged 40 and older are protected from discrimination on the basis of age by the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA). According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) it is unlawful to discriminate against a person based on age regarding any "term, condition, or privilege of employment, including hiring, firing, promotion, layoff, compensation, benefits, job assignments, and training."

Retaliation against an employee who objects to workplace age discrimination or who files an age discrimination claim is also unlawful.

Do you believe you were laid off from your job because of your age? Early termination based on age is not allowed under federal law.

To be eligible to file an age discrimination claim, you must have experienced an "adverse action." Being terminated, demoted or passed over for promotion because of your age are all grounds for legal action.

I have a long history of receiving attractive settlements on behalf of winning age discrimination claims on behalf of older employees, some against Fortune 500 corporations.
