Age Discrimination
Age Discrimination involves treating someone (an applicant or employee) less favorably because of his or her age. The law forbids discrimination when it comes to any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, fringe benefits, and any other term or condition of employment.
San Bernardino Age Discrimination Attorneys Serving Employees Across All Of Southern California
People live longer today and often work past retirement either part time or full time depending on their needs and income. Older workers offer companies the benefit of their wisdom and experience. All too often, however, businesses view older employees as an unnecessary cost, and will terminate older employees on the basis of their age. Individuals who are age 40, and above, have rights under Federal and State laws.
If you have reason to believe you were wrongfully fired, demoted, harassed or the victim of some type of adverse employment action due to your age, you need a lawyer immediately. The Inland Empire Age Discrimination Attorneys of SANFORD A. KASSEL, A Professional Law Corporation, are located in San Bernardino, serving Southern California and beyond. We are ready to help you protect your rights.
Key Legal Protections
Age Discrimination involves treating an applicant or employee less favorably because of their age.
State: According to the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), employers, employment agencies and unions cannot discriminate against anyone because of his or her age. The (FEHA) applies to public and private employers, labor organizations and employment agencies. It is illegal for employers of 5 or more employees to discriminate against job applicants and employees because of a protected category, or retaliate against them because they have asserted their rights under the law.
These State laws barring discrimination apply to all business practices, including the following:
Federal: The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) offers similar protections under Federal Law.
