Age Discrimination

The ADEA includes a broad ban against age discrimination and also specifically prohibits:

  • Discrimination in hiring, promotions, wages, or termination of employment and layoffs.
  • Statements or specifications in job notices or advertisements of age preference and limitations.
  • Denial of benefits to older employees. An employer may reduce benefits based on age only if the cost of providing the reduced benefits to older workers is the same as the cost of providing full benefits to younger workers.
  • Since 1978 it has prohibited mandatory retirement in most sectors, with phased elimination of mandatory retirement for tenured workers, such as college professors, in 1993.

Mandatory retirement based on age is permitted for:

  • Executives over age 65 in high policy-making positions who are entitled to a pension over a minimum yearly amount.

If you feel you’ve been discriminated against because of your age, please call us at 954-617-6017 or use the contact form at right to contact Rob Norell for a free consultation regarding your rights.

  • Your Rights

    Federal law requires employers to pay employees time and a half for all hours worked over 40 hours per week, unless you fall within an exemption. If your employer has violated federal law, the employer may be required to pay you your past unpaid overtime, interest, an additional amount equal to the unpaid overtime, plus costs and attorney fees.

  • Our Mission

    To help wronged employees recover unpaid wages owed to them by employers in the form of illegally withheld overtime or any other wages owed by your employer, past or present. You've worked hard and you deserve to get paid for your efforts. Through my efforts, I aim to retrieve your unpaid wages with efficiency and effectiveness.
