The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) protects individuals over 40 years of age from employment related age discrimination if they work for an employer covered by the act; generally defined as an employer who employees 20 or more persons.  The Pennsylvania Human Relations Comission provides similar protections to employees in Pennsylvania who work for employers that employ as few a 4 persons.

 

As we age we are faced with many challeges; not the least of which is competing with younger workers.  Age discrimination can be overt or insidious.

These are just a few examples of, what may be, evidence of age discrimination.

 

 

If your employer is discriminating against you due to your age your employer is breaking the law?
