Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 has been levied. So, if you feel you
or anyone else in your workplace is being discriminated against on the basis of
age, feel free to contact your age discrimination attorney in California.
What Do You Mean By
Age Discrimination?
Age discrimination refers to enforcement of any
types of condition, term, privilege, or condition of employment on employees
more than 40 years of age. It also includes firing, hiring, promotion, layoff,
compensation, assignments, training, benefits and lots more. In fact, according
to the law, an employer must favour the older employees much more than the
younger staff even if it may mean discriminating against the younger staff. The
ADEA has to be adhered to by organizations, including local,
federal and state governments, employment agencies, and labor organizations, having 20 or more employees.
Legal Actions
Following Such Discriminations
In case you have been a victim of age
discrimination, you have all the right to take action against your employer(s).
In California, The Fair Employment And Housing Act (FEHA) requires the harassed
person to lodge a complaint within a year of unlawful age discrimination. On
receiving such a complaint, the FEHA shall be bound to inspect the allegation
to determine its truth.
