Discrimination of employees at workplaces against age, gender, disability, race, and religion are common. Many people face problems related to the discrimination. Age discrimination is very commonly seen at companies.
When the wage rate of an employee is reduced on the basis of age, it can be claimed as age discrimination. Age discrimination also pertains when the person is classified or segregated by the employer to deprive of the employment opportunities. Aged people are set apart from hiring or promotions though they have qualified skills for the position. A change in job assignment may also be the factor to be considered in age discrimination.
Age discrimination at workplace creates a hostile environment and this is not beneficial to the employee as well as the employer. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) protects the individuals above 40 years of age from employment discrimination based on age in the United States. The act applies to all the local and state governments and employers having 20 or more employees.
