Age discrimination is not new and happens frequently in New Hampshire. According to the New Hampshire Commission for Human Rights, the state agency which investigates discrimination complaints, age discrimination is one of the most common forms of unlawful employment discrimination. Nationwide, age discrimination complaints have increased to over 24,500 filed for 2008 at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
What is Age Discrimination?
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older from employment discrimination based on age. The ADEA’s protections apply to both employees and job applicants. Under the ADEA, it is unlawful to discriminate against a person because of his/her age with respect to any of the following:
• Hiring
• Firing and layoffs
• Promotion
• Compensation and benefits
• Job assignments and training
If you have been victimized by age discrimination on the job, our age discrimination lawyers will fight to protect your rights. Many lawyers claim to have employment law experience. Also, some law firms try to have it both ways and represent employers and employees. Our loyalty is simple – we represent employees.
We understand the sensitive and difficult nature of these cases and the emotional upset caused by the discrimination. We are dedicated to providing victims of age discrimination with dignity and respect. For many reasons it can be difficult for victims to decide to report the discrimination and pursue their legal claims. Time is of the essence because discrimination cases have strict time limits in order to pursue such claims.
