In California, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because you are over 40 years of age. This means your employer cannot fire you, demote you, not promote you, or not provide you with equal benefits because you are older than 40 years. California and federal law protect older employees from age discrimination.

When a group of older workers were let go from their job with a large paint and chemicals company, they got together and took legal action. The older former employees allege that they were fired or pressured to retire because management considered them a financial drain due to their age. In these tough economic times it is important to protect your rights as an employee and make sure that if you are let go, it is for the right reasons.
