It can be devastating personally and economically for an employee who has been the victim of unjust or prejudicial treatment on the grounds of age. The average person spends 70% of his or her time working, with livelihood and well-being dependent upon production and advancement. Any discrimination in the workplace due to age has serious and lasting consequences. It is important to know and protect your rights.

Age discrimination is unjust or prejudicial treatment based upon your age. Rather than an honest examination of an employee's abilities, skills and experience, an employer or potential employer discriminates against a person with respect to age, sometimes in an effort to avoid paying for your hard-earned skills and years of service to the firm. Age discrimination usually applies to individuals who are 40 or older, but in today's work environment, even some in their 34 years of experience unjust treatment due to being "too old." An employer can be at fault when he discriminates with respect to any term, condition or privilege of employment, including:
- Hiring
- Firing
- Promotion
- Layoff
- Compensation
- Benefits
- Job Assignments
- Training
If you have been the victim of age discrimination in any of the above aspects of employment, Axelrod & Associates can help. Each case is different as are the specific circumstances. It is our job to fully evaluate all the circumstances of your case and advise you of your legal rights protected by law.
