Forty-eight percent of the complaints were filed by people between the ages of 55 and 64, and 37% were between the ages of 40 and 54.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is Age Discrimination?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shegerianconniff.com\/dev\/practice_areas\/age-discrimination\/\">Age discrimination<\/a> occurs when a person is treated differently because of their age. Within the workplace, it\u2019s illegal for an employer to refuse to hire a person due to their age, to use an employee\u2019s age to restrict them from job promotions or training opportunities, or to pay an older worker less than younger workers. Retaliation is also illegal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission\u2019s (EEOC) age discrimination laws protect people aged 40 or older. Some states have laws in place to protect younger workers. California laws follow the 40 or older guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Impact of Age Discrimination in the Workplace<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Age discrimination is detrimental. If an older adult needs the income and loses their job due to their age, it can cause financial hardship. Age discrimination takes away job opportunities from people who are still very willing and capable of working. It can lead to emotional distress if an aged applicant believes they were a perfect fit for a position and are denied the chance due to their age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Age discrimination can make an older adult feel down and even trigger depression. It also makes a company look bad if news of a company&#8217;s or organization&#8217;s discriminatory behavior reaches the media.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There Are Four Types of Discrimination<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are four types of age discrimination:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Direct: The age discrimination occurs to your face<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indirect: Age discrimination is based on new or existing restrictive policies.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harassment: You\u2019re picked on or ridiculed due to your age.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retaliation: You\u2019re treated worse or differently because you spoke up and complained about the harassment you were experiencing.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some real age discrimination lawsuits that further explain the types of discrimination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Direct:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three staff members in an Iowa school district had excellent records with the school, but all three were released from their jobs after turning 55. They filed age discrimination lawsuits and agreed to settlements of almost $1.2 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indirect:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the CEO made a comment about all the sales team being older workers, the hiring team implemented a new program. All hiring managers at the pharmaceutical company made it a policy to ignore applications from younger adults and ignore those from older adults. A complaint was filed with the EEOC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harassment:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A car dealership\u2019s owner continually made comments about an employee having \u201cold-timer\u2019s disease\u201d and threatened to fire the older worker when she underwent heart surgery. The only way to avoid being fired was to retire. The fact that the employee was productive and excelling at work didn\u2019t matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retaliation:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An IT staffing agency assured a worker he would be referred for an IT support position. When he was asked to provide the dates he graduated school, he refused citing age discrimination laws. Because of his refusal, the company retaliated by refusing to refer him. He filed a complaint with the EEOC, who agreed and required the staffing agency to implement anti-discrimination measures and train all staff once the measures are established.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steps to Take if You\u2019re the Victim of or Witness Age Discrimination<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you believe you are the victim of age discrimination, don\u2019t let the company get away with it. You should stand up and protect your rights. You can also witness age discrimination and report it. This keeps workplaces from continuing to discriminate against older workers, even if the older workers are hesitant to speak up. You can advocate for an older worker\u2019s right to fair treatment in the workplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Read the Employee Handbook to See How to File a Complaint<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by reading your employee handbook to see who you report the situation to. It might be your human resources department, but a union worker may need to go to the union steward. If you\u2019re supposed to report the situation to a supervisor or manager who was responsible for the comment or discriminatory behavior, you can file a complaint with the EEOC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure your employer is aware of any age discrimination coming from fellow employees, customers, clients, or contractors. If they\u2019re not aware of it, they cannot take steps to stop it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you apply for a job or promotion and were turned down because of your age? Report that situation to the EEOC, too. If you wanted to apply for a job, but the wording made it clear that you were too old or somehow restricted you due to your age, that\u2019s also illegal and should be reported. For example, you read a job ad that specifically says something like \u201cHiring Gen Z for an exciting sales job\u2026\u201d If you\u2019re qualified for the role, your age shouldn\u2019t matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Gather Evidence<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You do need to gather as much evidence as you can. Age discrimination can be very hard to prove, and that often leads to people feeling discouraged. Print out copies of messages or emails you received. Take screenshots and store them in a password-protected file, SD card, or personal thumb drive. If there was a discriminatory job posting, keep a copy of it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Reach the EEOC Laws<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be aware of your rights. Spend some time reading the EEOC\u2019s rules on age discrimination. Make sure you understand your rights. If you aren\u2019t certain, talk to an expert on age discrimination in the workplace.
