New York Age Discrimination Lawyers, Laws and Lawsuits
Under New York employment law, it is unlawful to fire, or to refuse to hire, an individual because of his/her age. It is also unlawful because of an employee’s age to deny them a promotion or a raise. It is also unlawful to harass an employee because of their age. Many companies are laying off workers and while it is not unlawful for a company to try and save money, it is unlawful if a company makes a choice to keep a younger employee and to let go an older employee because of that person’s age. Among other factors, a court will often look to see whether ageist comments were made, whether younger less experienced and less qualified workers were retained, while older ones are fired and will look at whether the job was truly eliminated or a replacement was brought in.
The Law Offices of Louis Ginsberg, P.C. have handled numerous age discrimination cases. Each situation is different, but just because you lost your job along with many others does not mean you do not have a case. Remember, unless the company is closing down, not everyone was fired. Your company made choices. You may have claims.
