If you’ve been denied a promotion, laid off, or replaced by a younger worker because of your age, you may have a legal claim. Our attorneys help California employees fight back against age-based discrimination.
Both California law and the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) protect workers age 40 and older from unfair treatment in the workplace. Under these laws, employers cannot make job decisions based on age—including hiring, firing, demotions, layoffs, promotions, or assignments.
Age discrimination can include:
This type of bias often appears during company restructuring, layoffs, or management transitions. While employers may try to mask their decisions as business-related, patterns of targeting older employees can expose unlawful conduct.
