Age Discrimination (678 words) |
 | Age discrimination in the workplace and other aspects of employment is prohibited by a Federal age discrimination law, called the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 or ADEA for short. |
| Employment agencies, labor unions and local, state, and Federal government offices are also bound by the law. |
| An age discrimination lawyer will also advise you if might be a better idea to instead file a charge with an EEOC state or municipal equivalent, or a lawsuit in a state or municipal court instead of Federal court. |
| AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT (2657 words) |
| The federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act was implemented by the EEOC in furtherance of deterring age discrimination in the workplace in 1967. |
| In short, the ADEA purpose is to promote employment of older persons based on their ability rather than their age; to prohibit arbitrary age discrimination in employment; to help employers and workers find ways of meeting problems arising from the impact of age on employment. |
| The ADEA was designed only to attack those employers' personnel policies and practices which arbitrarily classify employees or potential employees on basis of age, and the Act does not seek to affect employers' decisions based on individual assessment of person's abilities, capabilities, and potential. |
