Age discrimination can take many forms: including job advertisements, interviewing, hiring, compensation, promotion, discipline, job evaluations, demotion, training, job assignments, and termination.

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA)

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 was designed in part to prevent and protect employees who are over the age of 40 from being discriminated against in the workplace. This law makes it illegal to discriminate against employees over the age of 40 in all employment matters, from applying to a job, receiving promotions or raises, settling on the lengths of contracts, and more.

The law also makes it illegal for an employer to retaliate against an individual pursuing claims of age discrimination against an employer.

The ADEA applies to employers with 20 or more employees, as well as municipal, state and federal organizations.
