Your Worth Is Not Limited by Age
Age discrimination in the workplace is against the law, but it is also very common. Additionally, employers often retaliate against employees who complain about or oppose age discrimination in the workplace. The law also protects employees who complain about age discrimination against other employees in the workplace. Contact our employment lawyer today if you are the victim of age discrimination or workplace retaliation.
- Fired, laid off, forced to quit as a result of their age.
- Passed over for promotions due to their age.
- Demoted, have their pay reduced, or have their hours cut due to their age.
- Offered inferior pay, benefits and/or job assignments due to their age harassment.
Protecting Worker's Rights with Honesty and Precision
Minimum Number of Employees to Prohibit Age Discrimination
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”) and the Employment Code prohibit employers with twenty or more employees from discriminating against employees because of age. Sadly, an employer with less than twenty employees under the ADEA or an employer with less than 15 employees under the Employment Code is not restricted from discriminating against an employee based on age. However, the term “employee” is broadly defined and includes part-time employees and independent contractors. Contact our employment firm today if you have been discriminated against because of your age.

Harassment & Discrimination Based on Age
Unfortunately, age can be a negative factor in the workplace, resulting in the loss of jobs for older workers and difficulty in finding employment. When harassment or discrimination occurs against employees or job applicants based on age, it can and should be addressed with legal action to further limit this type of workplace injustice. If you or someone you know has experienced this type of harassment or discrimination in the greater Santa Clarita, California area, you should seek legal recourse with the assistance of a Santa Clarita discrimination lawyer at our firm.
How is Age Discrimination Proven?
- Discriminatory remarks regarding the employee's age made by the owner or supervisor, such as jokes about age and look, the employee being asked when he or she would retire, or insulting remarks about the worker being sluggish, his or her technical abilities, and so on.
- An older employee is replaced with a much younger employee who has weaker or at best equivalent credentials.
- Layoffs or staff cutbacks are disproportionately affecting older employees.
- Younger employees are given preferential treatment in terms of compensation, promotions, and working conditions, among other things.
- Older employees are being denied training and other opportunities to advance within the organization, as well as being absent from critical meetings and having part of their responsibilities taken away.
- Evidence of different or inconsistent workplace rules and standards being applied to employees of various ages, such as an older worker accused of a particular wrongdoing being punished more harshly than a younger worker accused of the same wrongdoing, or an older employee receiving an undeservedly lower performance evaluation than a younger employee.
