Age Discrimination

Cincinnati, Ohio, Age Discrimination Lawyers

Federal and state law protects workers over the age of 40 from discrimination the basis of age. The federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA") spells out protections that older workers are entitled to, including:

Prohibition Of Age Discrimination

  • SEC. 623. [Section 4]
  • (a) It shall be unlawful for an employer
  • (1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual or otherwise discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's age
  • (2) to limit, segregate, or classify his employees in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee, because of such individual's age
  • (3) to reduce the wage rate of any employee in order to comply with this chapter.
  • (b) It shall be unlawful for an employment agency to fail or refuse to refer for employment, or otherwise to discriminate against, any individual because of such individual's age, or to classify or refer for employment any individual on the basis of such individual's age
