Age Discrimination

The Reddy Law Firm, P.C. in Atlanta has handled a vast amount of age discrimination cases in Georgia. Here Attorney Reddy discusses what employers should do to avoid age discrimination charges and lawsuits.

Georgia age discrimination law

In 1967, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) was created to protect individuals who are 40 years of age or older. The act prohibits discrimination on the basis of age by apprenticeship programs. It also protects benefits to older employees and ensures that job notices do not contain specifications of age preference. In conjunction with this federal law, Georgia state law shares similar laws dealing with age discrimination in their fair employment practices section (Georgia State Code 45 Chapter 19, Article 2). Here are some questions you may have before considering discrimination litigation in Atlanta.

Can there be age limitations in the workplace?

Age discrimination legislation can protect the rights of those who are at least 40 years of age but less than 70.

Is every employer covered by the ADEA?

No, only employers that have at least 20 employees are subject to the ADEA.

What is the typical compensation for an ADEA claim?

Monetary damages can include back pay, front pay, compensatory damages, and reimbursement of attorney fees.

Are there any exceptions to the rule when it comes to ADEA?

If an employer can prove that one of the essential job qualifications is age or a “bona fide occupational qualification,” then they can discriminate for age. For other exceptions, you should consult an experienced attorney.
