One of
Evan Granowitz’ fields of expertise is in civil litigation—the most common of the types of judicial cases that appear before court. Age discrimination is a type of civil case that is not often spotlighted. Age discrimination is said to apply mainly to older employees (such as when some companies choose not to hire anyone over 40 years of age), but also to younger employees. The basis of age discrimination is the idea that a person’s age will hamper his or her ability to work efficiently and is subsequently terminated or not accepted into a company for that reason.
The most popular cases in age discrimination, says
Evan Granowitz, usually involve a highly qualified individual being rejected for a post owing to his or her age being over or under in the calendar age preferred by the company. There are some cases wherein the company believes that the individual’s old age may show expertise and experience in a given field, but may also mean that he or she may be resistant to new methods or techniques, unlike a younger employee. Older employees are sometimes considered unable to provide the term of service that the company expects from its employees.
This sort of age objectification could jeopardize a company’s overall ongoing health and run it at risk of being charged for age discrimination. It is important to be aware of whatever rights a person may have in terms of their age and employment, and seeing an expert in the matter will be best.
