Age Discrimination

When it comes to employment, previous work experience is typically considered a plus for candidates applying for open positions. Unfortunately, some applicants may experience discrimination because of their age, even if they are qualified for the position in question.

Federal law prohibits employers from practicing age discrimination when considering applications, promotions, or raises. Age discrimination still exists in some workplaces, and if you have been the victim of such practices, you may be eligible for compensation.
