Legal Protections Against Age Discrimination
Employees in Mullica Township are protected under both federal and state laws:
- Federal Law (ADEA): The Age Discrimination in Employment Act prohibits employers with 20 or more employees from discriminating against workers aged 40 or older in hiring, firing, promotions, pay, and layoffs. The Older Workers Benefits Protection Act protects benefits from age-related reductions.
- New Jersey Law (LAD): The Law Against Discrimination applies to all employers in New Jersey and protects individuals between 18 and 70 from age discrimination in hiring, firing, and workplace practices.
Both laws also prevent harassment based on age that creates a hostile work environment or affects job conditions.
Recognizing Age Discrimination in Mullica Township
Age discrimination may be subtle, but it often involves unfair treatment or exclusion. Common examples include:
- Favoring younger candidates for jobs or promotions
- Targeting older employees in layoffs or terminations
- Withholding training or advancement opportunities
- Excluding older employees from meetings or projects
- Pressuring employees to retire early
Employers may disguise these actions as “restructuring” or “lack of work,” but these tactics can still violate the law.
Example Case
Robert Braden was dismissed under a “reduction in force,” while his employer claimed there was no work. Within a year, someone else was hired for his role. This demonstrates how age discrimination can be hidden under company decisions.
