Age Discrimination
Age Discrimination under ADEA
Individuals, 40 years or above, are protected by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) against any form of harassment or discrimination in the process of employment or job application. This law states that it is illegal to discriminate a person due to his/her age in various terms, conditions and privileges of employment such as:
- Hiring
- Job promotion
- Layoff
- Wages and hours
- Employee benefits
- Tasking
- Training
- Job termination or firing
ADEA further protects employees, who refuse to comply with employment policies that discriminate aged individuals, against employer retaliations. It also safeguards whistleblowers who file charges, testify or participate in investigation, legal procedures and litigation due to the discriminative policies of their employers.
However, the ADEA only applies to companies with 20 or above workers. This also covers federal, state and local governments as well as employment institutions and labor group.
