What Is Age Discrimination?
Age discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly based on their age, particularly if they are over the age of 40. Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD), it is illegal for employers to make employment decisions (such as hiring, firing, or promotion) based on an employee’s age. Common forms of age discrimination include:
- Unfair Hiring Practices: Refusing to hire someone solely because of their age, even though they are qualified for the position.
- Promotion Denial: Denying an older employee a promotion in favor of a younger, less qualified candidate.
- Forced Retirement: Pressuring or forcing older employees to retire based on their age.
- Termination Based on Age: Firing employees because of their age rather than their job performance or qualifications.
