Cuyahoga County Age Discrimination Law Firm
If you are an employee 40 years of age or older you are protected from employment discrimination based upon age. It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against an employee because of their age under Federal and Ohio law.
Our experienced Cleveland Age Discrimination Attorneys handle employment age discrimination cases with respect to any term or privilege of employment including:
- Hiring
- Training
- Termination / Firing / Layoffs
- Promotion
- Compensation
- Benefits
- Job Assignments
Many employments take clever and surreptitious actions in an effort to hide age discriminatory practices. Our Ohio Age Discrimination Lawyers have experienced in exposing employer's subtle efforts to conceal age discrimination, including instances of the following:
- A company that is compensating younger employees with less skill and experience greater than older employees with greater experience and skill
- A company that is laying off older employees only because of tough financial times since older employees make better pay
- A supervisor that gives an older employee a false evaluation in an effort to record a poor performance to demote or fire the older employee
- A company that does not permit an older employee to take part in its training programs
- A company that tries to maintain a younger image by not hiring older employees
- A company that hires a younger person for a position rather than promote an older employee
- A company that is replacing older employees with younger ones

You may have a case under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act or under Ohio Law
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 ("ADEA") is a Federal law which protects employees from age discrimination that are over 40 years of age. ADEA is applicable to most employers who have 20 or more employees. There are also certain Ohio laws that protect those that have been victimized by their employers through discriminatory practices because of their age.
