Discrimination is when you are treated differently than others. Discrimination becomes unlawful when the reason for unequal or disparate treatment is based on your age, sex (gender), race, creed, religion, national origin, disability and veteran’s status. An employer cannot treat an individual or a group less favorably in the terms and conditions of employment based on being a member of a protected class.
Age discrimination in the workplace is prohibited by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) which protects workers aged 40 and older from discrimination based on age in hiring, promotion, discharge, compensation, and other aspects of employment. It is illegal for employers to make decisions about hiring, firing, promotions, or benefits based on a worker's age. Employers cannot force older workers into retirement, treat them differently in terms of job assignments, or deny them benefits based on their age.
