California and federal law protect CA employees from many types of discrimination, including href=’http://www.discriminationattorney.com/lawyer-attorney-1287311.html’>age discrimination. This means that your employer cannot take adverse action against you because you are older than 40 years. An experienced employment lawyer can tell you what constitutes adverse action or not, but some common examples can include:

• Not hiring you
• Firing you
• Demoting you
• Not providing you with certain benefits

When a 70 year old sales man was the victim of several derogatory comments demonstrating a bias against older workers, by his manager, he took legal action. Allegedly, the manager told the older man that he would like to remove all the older representatives and replace them with younger employees and telling the older man that he, the manager, would retire if he were ‘as old as the 70 year old. Additionally, the sales manager allegedly also took sales leads and sales territory from the older man, who was fired and replaced with a substantially younger employee. The older man received $80,000 in damages for the discrimination he suffered.
