Are you an employee who is 40 years of age or older? Is your employer discriminating against you because of your age? The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”) and Texas Labor Code protects employees who are age 40 or older from employment discrimination based on age. Most employers are prohibited from committing age discrimination. Our age discrimination lawyers represent employees who are victims of age discrimination in the workplace.
Workplace age discrimination can take many forms. For example, age discrimination can be done through hiring, firing, promotions, layoffs, compensation, benefits, training programs, bonuses, performance evaluations, and any other term or condition of employment. If you have suffered from age discrimination, please contact our age discrimination attorneys immediately.
Our employment lawyers fight against employers who discriminate against employee because of age and attempt to mask their discrimination as layoffs. The Older Worker Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”) provides older employees with a number of protections. In fact, the OWBPA requires that employees over 40 years of age have 45 days to consider a severance agreement. Additionally, these employees have 7 days to revoke the severance agreement after signing it. If an employer violates the OWBPA, the employee may be able to sue for age discrimination and keep the original settlement funds. Contact our age discrimination attorneys if you have a claim for age discrimination.
Our age discrimination lawyers represent employees who have been unlawfully retaliated against after complaining about age discrimination.
The law prohibits an employer from retaliating against an employee who reports or complains about age discrimination in the workplace. Contact our age discrimination attorneys if you have been retaliated against in the workplace.
There is often a short period of time an employee has to file a claim for age discrimination or retaliation. It is important to take action within this short deadline. Contact our age discrimination lawyers today.
