What Is Age Discrimination?
Age discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfavorably in the workplace due to their age. This can happen at any stage of employment, from the initial application to the termination of the employee. Age discrimination is prohibited under both federal and California law, and employees who are victims of this type of discrimination may have grounds for legal action against their employers.
Age Discrimination in Hiring
Age discrimination in the hiring process can occur in a number of ways. For example, an employer may refuse to hire an employee because they are “overqualified.” Alternatively, an employer may simply decide not to hire an employee because they are “too old.”
Employers may also use certain hiring practices that have a disparate impact on older employees. For example, if an employer only posts job openings on social media, it may effectively exclude older employees who are not as likely to use these platforms.
Age Discrimination in the Workplace
Age discrimination can also occur after an employee has been hired. For example, an employer may decide to pass over an older employee for a promotion in favor of a younger employee. Alternatively, an employer may decide to terminate an older employee and replace them with a younger employee.
Employers may also use certain workplace policies that have a disparate impact on older employees. For example, if an employer implements a mandatory retirement policy, it may effectively terminate all of its older employees.
Age discrimination can also take the form of a hostile work environment, where an employee is subjected to a pattern of derogatory comments or actions based on their age. A hostile work environment can make it difficult for an employee to perform their job and can lead to significant emotional and psychological trauma.
