Age Discrimination Attorney in Los Angeles
Individuals over the age of 40 are protected from discrimination by the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. If you believe that you have been discriminated against, harassed and/or the victim of wrongful termination from you job, you can do something about it. You have employee rights! There are numerous ways that an older worker can suffer harassment and discrimination at the workplace; perhaps some of these pertain to your situation:
- Hiring a younger person
- Making age based jokes or comments
- Assigning disagreeable tasks
- Earning less pay for the same work
- Denying benefits of training or education
- Increasing job difficulty so the older worker will quit
- Laying off work force in numbers that unduly affect older employees
At our firm, we take pride in our representation of people who have been harmed by actions at the workplace, especially older workers who have been victimized by age discrimination and may not know what to do about it. We are dedicated to advocating for our clients and welcome the opportunity to help you assert and protect your rights.
