AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT (ADEA)

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, or ADEA, was enacted by Congress to protect individuals who are 40 years of age or older from employment discrimination based on age. The ADEA’s protections extend to both job applicants and current employees. Though federal law, the ADEA applies in the CA workplace and protects California employees from age discrimination.

The ADEA makes it illegal for your employer to discriminate against you because of your age. The ADEA covers all aspects of employment, including firing, promotion, demoting, hiring, compensation, benefits, job assignments, and training. An experienced employment lawyer can go through the specifics of the Act with you.
