Age Discrimination in Philadelphia

Do you feel that you may be a victim of age discrimination in Philadelphia? Perhaps you are unsure and need legal guidance. The firm of Nancy O’Mara Ezold, P.C., would like to provide that guidance and is here to advise you of your rights under the law.

What constitutes age discrimination in the workplace?

Federal law protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older from employment discrimination using the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). Under the ADEA, there are numerous actions that your employer is not allowed to take simply because you are over a certain age. These actions include those surrounding:

  • Hiring
  • Firing
  • Layoffs
  • Promotions
  • Compensation
  • Benefits
  • Job assignments
  • Job training

In addition, your employer cannot:

  • Retaliate against you for opposing employment practices that discriminate based upon age
  • Retaliate against you for filing an age discrimination claim
  • Terminate you because, as an older worker, your employer feels that your benefits are too costly
  • Make negative remarks about your age

There are certain exceptions to these rules. Generally speaking, however, you may be the victim of age discrimination in Philadelphia if you experienced any of the situations described.
