What is Age-Based Harassment?
The FEHA not only prohibits discrimination, but it also prohibits harassment based on an individual’s age. When an employer creates or enables the existence of an abusive, disrespectful, or threatening work environment that negatively impacts an employee’s capacity to execute his or her job, this is known as age harassment.
Slurs, jokes, and unpleasant or insulting statements regarding a person’s age are the most typical forms of age-based harassment. Such remarks support an age discrimination claim while also giving rise to a second claim for age harassment. The corporation as well as the individual harasser may be held accountable for the harassment allegation.
Most companies and managers who participate in age discrimination do not confess their actual motivations, and instead try to explain their actions by blaming non-age related concerns such poor employee performance, downsizing, staff cutbacks, or corporate reorganization. Even if there is no “smoking gun” evidence of age discrimination, victims of prejudice can frequently substantiate their claims using circumstantial or indirect evidence.
