Preventing Age Discrimination in the Workplace

It shouldn't surprise you that making employment decisions because you think an employee is too young or old can get you into a lot of trouble. Simply put… it’s illegal. Anyone who is 40 years or older is protected from discrimination and harassment based on their age by the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Your state’s law may even provide coverage for younger employees.

Additional Information

It’s important to understand that even persons within the protected class can harass and discriminate against people who belong to their same protected class.

For instance, a 60-year-old can unlawfully harass and discriminate against other 60-year-olds, the same way that a 20-year-old can unlawfully harass or discriminate against a 60-year-old worker.  The same is true for any protected class status, not just age.  

The bottom line here? If you target someone for negative treatment because of their age - sooner or later, you just might end up defending yourself to your employer, to an opposing attorney, a government agency, or even a judge or jury.
