Los Angeles Age Discrimination Lawyers
San Fernando Valley Workplace Discrimination Attorneys
Employees have a right to be judged on the quality of their work. Unfortunately, many older employees find that they are subjected to false and arbitrary stereotypes. These employees find that their employers have made the unjust assumption that older employees are not able to keep pace with younger employees.
Federal and state laws prohibit employers from engaging in age discrimination. An employee may not be terminated or otherwise discriminated against regarding the terms of their employment on the basis of age. If you feel that you have been the victim of age discrimination, contact Magnanimo Dean Law, APC.

Age Discrimination Law
Both California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibit age discrimination. Employers who discriminate against an employee on the basis of age may be held liable for damages. Both the ADEA and FEHA protect workers who are 40 or older from age discrimination.
Proving age discrimination can be complex. An employer may claim that you were laid off as part of a lawful reduction in force. They may also argue that you were terminated, denied a promotion or otherwise suffered an adverse employment action due to substandard work. Because employees are often judged on subjective criteria that are difficult to quantify, proving a discriminatory motive can be highly complex.
