What Is the Age Discrimination in Employment Act?

Similar to the Equal Pay Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (or ADEA) bans age-based discrimination in the workplace. The following actions are specifically banned under the ADEA:

Advertising the job as being specifically for an applicant of a certain age, unless age truly is vitally important to the job
Apprenticeship programs which discriminate on the basis of age
Denying benefits to older employees, except in certain very specific circumstances

If you or someone you love has been a victim of age-based discrimination, contact the federal employment attorneys of the Vaughn Law Firm today by calling 877-615-9495.
