New York age discrimination cases are known to produce some of the highest verdicts and settlements. New York employees are protected by powerful age discrimination laws.

The New York age discrimination laws prohibit discrimination against older workers - typically anyone over the age of 40. These laws hold that an employer cannot take any adverse action against an employee because of their age. This means that an employer cannot fire, demote, transfer or otherwise deny benefits or opportunities on account of an employee's age.  Age discrimination is often subtle or disguised.

Here is a short video that serves as an example of a typical age discrimination case:

• You didn't get hired because the employer wanted a younger-looking person to do the job.
• You received a negative job evaluation because you weren't "flexible" in taking on new projects.
• You were fired because your boss wanted to keep younger workers who are paid less.
• You were turned down for a promotion, which went to someone younger hired from outside the company, because the boss says the company "needs new blood."
• When company layoffs are announced, most of the persons laid off were older, while younger workers with less seniority and less on-the-job experience were kept on.
• Before you were fired, your supervisor made age-related remarks about you, such as that you were "over-the-hill," or "ancient."

If any of these things have happened to you on the job, you may have suffered age discrimination. Contact a New York Lawyer today!
