What is “Age Discrimination?”

If your employer, manager, supervisor, or fellow coworker treated you less favorably than others because of your age, you are the victim of age discrimination. Discrimination can take many shapes and forms. It may not involve the loss of a job or paycheck. Both workers in question may be over the age of 40. The supervisor may be older than the discrimination victim.

Do not assume you do not have a case of discrimination before talking to an attorney. The definition is broad, and you may qualify for reparation.

Examples of Age Discrimination in Tampa

Not all undesirable employment decisions are automatically age discrimination in the workplace. For a case to qualify as discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, it must fulfill certain specifications.

Mainly, the action must have harmed an employee who is 40 years of age or older, and the employer must have taken the action on the basis of a stereotype or discrimination against the employee.

Examples of age discrimination at work are as follows:

  • Age-biased comments, jokes, or slurs
  • Laying off older workers who are more qualified than younger ones
  • Disciplining only the older employees
  • Promoting only the younger employees
  • Making hiring decisions based solely on age
  • Showing favoritism to younger employees
  • Pattern of only hiring younger workers
  • Sudden negative performance reviews after a birthday
  • Harassment due to age

Any of these actions could be signs of age discrimination. It’s up to the victim to detect discrimination and report to the proper authorities. Not all forms of discrimination affect your pay scale – some will make your workplace environment feel hostile. Either way, you are a victim and deserve legal representation.
