Age Discrimination and the Law
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in hiring, promotion and termination for workers 40 years of age or older. Unfortunately, obtaining a successful outcome in an age discrimination case is not easy. Many employers, especially larger ones, take measures to hide the reasons for their actions, particularly in cases involving layoffs and reductions in force. However, success is possible when the right evidence can be developed.
You must first file a complaint with the EEOC or Kansas Human Rights Commission. After 60 days, you can file your lawsuit in court.
Attorney Michael Shultz, being a member of this protected class himself, takes a special interest in age discrimination cases.
