What Constitutes Age Discrimination at Work?

While age discrimination can occur in various ways, it commonly involves employees who are 40 and older being:

Fired, laid off, forced to quit as a result of their age.
Passed over for promotions due to their age.
Demoted, have their pay reduced, or have their hours cut due to their age.
Offered inferior pay, benefits and/or job assignments due to their age harassment.
Not getting hired due to their age.
Subjected to employers’ policies or practices that discriminate against them because of their age.

What is Age-Based Harassment?

The FEHA not only prohibits discrimination, but it also prohibits harassment based on an individual’s age. When an employer creates or enables the existence of an abusive, disrespectful, or threatening work environment that negatively impacts an employee’s capacity to execute his or her job, this is known as age harassment. Slurs, jokes, and unpleasant or insulting statements regarding a person’s age are the most typical forms of age-based harassment. Such remarks support an age discrimination claim while also giving rise to a second claim for age harassment. The corporation as well as the individual harasser may be held accountable for the harassment allegation.

How do I know if I was discriminated because of my age?

Discrimination can take many forms. For most employees, getting fired or laid off because of their age is the most harmful type of discrimination. However, any adverse or unlawful actions against an employee may be a form of discrimination. Age discrimination is established by showing that a job applicant’s age over 40 or employee’s age over 40 was considered in the denial of an employment benefit. Denied employment benefits in examples of age discrimination include:

Termination
Denied equal pay in violation of The California Equal Pay Act.
Denied a promotion
Denied reinstatement
Forced to quit
Forced to transfer
Termination
