Age Discrimination Lawyer in Los Angeles
Have you been treated differently than your younger co-workers because of your age? It is illegal under both Federal and State law for an employer to harass and/or discriminate against an employee who is 40 years of age or older. For example, an employer cannot terminate or refuse to hire an employee over 40 years old solely because of their age. Additionally, employers cannot engage in other illegal activity against older employees such as forcing an employee to retire because simply because they are getting old.
Some examples of age discrimination may include:
- Teasing the employee or making comments about their inability to use technology
- Terminating the employee before their retirement benefits vest
- Unfairly disciplining the employee
- Failing to hire the employee
- Failing to promote the employee
- Reducing the employee’s salary
- Transferring the employee to a less desirable position
- Denying employment opportunities
- Giving the employee negative performance reviews
