Age Discrimination is the stereotyping and/or prejudice against an individual or group
because of their age. It generally refers discrimination against older workers but it can be directed toward younger people as well.
Some forms of
age discrimination include but are not limited to:
Making direct comments about your age
Denying you a job due to your age
Being replaced by a younger worker
Being terminated or laid off because of your age
Being retaliated against for complaining about being treated unfairly because of your age.
Your job may have been adversely, unlawfully or unfairly affected in the following manner:
Hostile work environment
Cutting your hours or benefits
Changing your hours
Changing your job duties
Demotions
Not getting a promotion you deserve
Harassment
While older workers usually demand higher wages due to experience, they may also be discriminated against for that same reason or just because they might be viewed less productive because of their age. Just as younger workers face barriers in promotions and hiring due to the fact that they may be viewed as less dependable because of their age. That double edge sword can cut in either direction for either group and it is that bias is classified as
age discrimination and it is unfounded and against the law.
