Age discrimination

Age discrimination protections are based upon allegations that an employee or applicant suffered discrimination for being "too old for the job." Although it is ordinarily legal to discriminate on the basis that somebody is "too young for the job," there are circumstances when people are in the wrong for doing so. An employer may lawfully request a date of birth with an application, but if that information is not necessary to the employer, such inquiries may lend support to an age discrimination claim. Employees may experience age discrimination when their employment is terminated, or if they feel their position or success at a workplace is cheapened by the way another perceives their age.

If you believe you have been subjected to discrimination due to your age, contact the attorneys of James F. Humphreys. Age discrimination wastes valuable talent and hurts morale. Fill out a free case evaluator now.
