Many times workers over the age of 40 are either terminated or laid off while younger workers with less experience are not. Often what looks like a great severance package is really not that good.  Before you sign a severance agreement relinquishing all of your potential rights, contact my office for a free evaluation.  Many older workers make more money than their younger counterparts and companies in an effort to save money will terminate older workers in an unlawful manner.

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) was passed to help protect citizens over 40 years of age who have been discriminated against while at work. The ADEA is very broad and it protects employees and job applicants against discrimination based on age.  Accordingly,  it is a violation of state and federal law to discriminate against a person because of age.  The discrimination includes any employment term, working condition, or privilege of employment.  This is a vast list and includes the hiring, promotion or lackthereof, termination of employment, job assignment and training.
