ARE YOU OVER 40? YOUR CA EMPLOYER CAN’T USE YOUR AGE AS A REASON TO FIRE YOU.
California employees over 40 are protected by state and federal law. More specifically, the law states that your employer cannot use your age as a reason to discriminate against you. This means that firing you, demoting you, not promoting you, or not providing you with certain benefits just because you are over 40 is against the law in CA. If your employer claims he is ‘restructuring’ and fires only the older workers, this could be a sign of discrimination.
When a group of salespeople over 40 at a local insurance company were adversely impacted by a new restructuring plan, they looked closer at just who was affected. As it turned out, employees over 40 were the ones who felt the brunt of the plan, which reduced their benefits. As a result, they sued their employer and won over $4 million in damages. You could to.
