Age Discrimination

Most employees over the age of 40 are protected against age discrimination that is based on the widespread bias against older employees. For example, employees 40 or older may find that they are passed over for promotions in favor of less qualified employees because the boss wants a younger-looking office environment. Other instances of age discrimination at work might take the form of an employer laying off older employees so they can be replaced with younger people with lower salary requirements.
