Los Angeles Age Discrimination Attorney
If you believe you have been a victim of age discrimination in the workplace, it is essential to seek the help of a knowledgeable age discrimination attorney as soon as possible. At United Employees Law Group, we are committed to upholding workers' rights and combating ageism throughout California, including in Los Angeles, California. Our team of knowledgeable Age Discrimination Attorneys are very passionate about helping employees resolve these matters.
What qualifies as age discrimination? Example of age discrimination in the workplace can include:
- Not being hired, promoted or offered training opportunities due to older age. Being passed over in favor of younger workers despite equal or greater qualifications.
- Being terminated, downsized, or forced into early retirement solely based on age rather than performance.
- Harassment, bullying, or hostile treatment from supervisors or co-workers related to age.
- Company policies that unfairly disadvantage older workers regarding benefits, technology access, training, schedules, dress code, etc.
Do You Need Advice From an Experienced Attorney?
If you believe that you have been terminated from or harassed at work due to your age, we want to hear from you. UELG serves all of California, including Los Angeles and Orange County, and offers free evaluations. To speak to one of our knowledgeable discrimination attorneys, please call (888)545-0013. If your case is accepted you pay no legal fees or costs unless we win.
BOTH FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA LAW FORBIDS AGE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PEOPLE WHO ARE AGE 40 OR OLDER.
California Law Protects Employees From Age Discrimination In The Workplace
The California Civil Rights Department (CRD) enforces California’s civil rights laws, and protects the people of California from, among other things, unlawful discrimination in employment, housing, and businesses, including age discrimination in the workplace. California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) is the law enforced by the CRD that protects workers from being subjected to unfavorable treatment at work, including age discrimination in the workplace, resulting from discriminatory motivations of their employers. It is against the law for an employer to discriminate against any employee who is 40 years or older. Employees who are at least 40 years old and suffer employment discrimination at work in any manner, to include in any term, condition, or privilege of employment, which includes hiring, firing, promotion, layoff, compensation, benefits, job assignments, and training, are protected and afforded legal relief under the Fair Employment and Housing Act. The FEHA covers employees as well as job candidates. Contact the experienced employment lawyers at UELG with your age discrimination questions and for help to combat age discrimination in the workplace.
Federal Law Also Protects Against Workplace Age Discrimination
Just like the FEHA, the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) protects certain applicants and employees 40 years of age and older from discrimination on the basis of age in hiring, promotion, discharge, compensation, or terms, conditions or privileges of employment. The ADEA is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Please get in touch with United Employees Law Group’s age discrimination attorneys in California, including its Los Angeles age discrimination attorneys, if you have any questions about workplace age discrimination, harassment, discrimination, or retaliation. You can be confident that when you use our services, you will receive knowledgeable legal counsel who will fight for you.
- Create a written record documenting anything that may suggest Age Discrimination, such as comments or conduct by your boss.
- Immediately consult an attorney after you have faced termination or other adverse employment action because there is a statute of limitations that may bar your recovery.
- Gather up all your performance and personnel records. Often times your employer will try to blame your demotion or termination on bad behavior or performance.
- Print all e-mails and correspondence that may suggest Age Discrimination. Try to make a note of the ages of other people who were not laid off or terminated.
