Nationwide Age Discrimination Lawyers
Age discrimination, an insidious form of bias, continues to persist in workplaces worldwide. As experienced workers face stereotypes and biased attitudes, the fight for fair treatment becomes paramount. Our California employment lawyers delve into the issue of age discrimination, its impact on individuals and organizations, relevant laws, and steps towards fostering an age-inclusive workforce.
California Age Discrimination Laws
In California, age discrimination is prohibited under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). It applies to employers with five or more employees, banning discrimination against individuals aged 40 and older in hiring, firing, promotions, and other employment practices. Employees have one year to file a complaint with the Civil Rights Department formerly known as Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH).

Recognizing signs of age discrimination can help individuals identify potential bias in the workplace. Some common indicators include:

- Age-Based Jokes or Comments: Colleagues or supervisors making derogatory remarks based on age.
- Exclusion from Opportunities: Older employees consistently excluded from training, promotions, or special projects.
- Higher Performance Standards: Imposing higher performance standards on older workers compared to younger colleagues.
- Age-Related Stereotypes: Making assumptions about older workers’ tech-savviness, adaptability, or productivity.
- Ageist Language in Job Postings: Job ads seeking “recent graduates” or “energetic” candidates may imply age preferences.
- Push towards Retirement: Encouraging or pressuring older employees to retire.
- Replacement by Younger Workers: Older workers being replaced by younger, less-experienced employees.
- Reduction in Job Responsibilities: Assigning older workers to less challenging tasks despite their capabilities.
