FAQ
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) forbids age discrimination against people who are age 40 or older.
What is ageism? Ageism involves stereotyping or discriminating against people based on their age and can occur both in the workplace and in your personal life. Ageism can be directed at older adults and young people alike.
Age discrimination can include denying an older worker training opportunities or denying a younger worker a position because they look too young. An employer can't refuse to interview, hire, promote or fire an employee because of their age (19 or older).
The laws enforced by EEOC prohibit an employer from treating applicants and employees who are forty or older differently, or less favorably, because of age. These laws also protect workers who are forty or older from being harassed at work by managers, co-workers, or others in the workplace because of age.

In the context of an EEOC complaint, understanding what this entails can significantly affect the outcome of your case. Simply put, the burden of proof lies with the complainant, who must demonstrate evidence supporting their discrimination claim.
