Age Discrimination
If you feel that your employer has treated you differently because of your age, you should contact the Law Offices of Lauren Goldberg, PLLC for a consultation. We will review the facts of your case and advise you of any potential claims you may have against your employer.
Federal, State and City laws prohibit employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of their age. The federal law, known as Age Discrimination Employment Act, specifically prohibits discrimination against any individual who is 40 or older. New York State and City have particularly friendly discrimination laws for employees. Discrimination occurs when you have been treated differently simply based on your race. This unfair treatment can take many different forms. For example, some discriminatory practices include being terminated, demoted, or passed over for a promotion or a raise.
Retaliation
If you complain to your employer about the discrimination you are experiencing and your employer takes adverse actions against you, you may have a claim for retaliation. It is unlawful for your employer to treat you unfairly because you complained of discrimination. To review all your options, call the Law Offices of Lauren Goldberg, PLLC.
