Understanding Age Discrimination Laws
Federal and state laws prohibit age discrimination in employment. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) forbids employers with 20 or more employees from discriminating against individuals aged 40 and above. The Older Workers Benefits Protection Act further strengthens protections under the ADEA. In New Jersey, the Law Against Discrimination (LAD) protects employees aged 18 to 70, regardless of company size. Employers must comply with ADEA provisions, ensuring equitable treatment of older employees.
Identifying Age Discrimination
Age discrimination often affects older employees subtly. Signs include preferential treatment of younger candidates, unequal benefits distribution, or coercive retirement tactics. Legal counsel is essential for navigating these complexities and substantiating claims.
Case Illustration
