Age Discrimination

Age is a protected trait under both federal and State laws. It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against an employee who is 40 or older. Discrimination occurs whenever an adverse step is taken against an employee due to a protected trait. For example, if you are fired and told that it is because you are getting close to retirement, this would count as age discrimination. However, most often, the facts are more ambiguous, and advice from an employment lawyer may be needed to determine if an adverse measure was taken against you because of your age. At the Notre law Firm, our Notre law Firm age discrimination lawyers can investigate what happened and offer knowledgeable representation to employees who have been wronged.
