Defining Prohibited Discriminatory Conduct

Prohibited workplace discrimination in relation to age or disability includes bias in:

• Hiring and firing practices
• Pay, benefits, training and job assignments
• Promotions, demotions and layoffs
• Other aspects of employment

Harassment by a supervisor, co-worker or client in the workplace, including offensive comments or jokes made about a person's age or disability, is also prohibited, as are retaliatory actions.

An employment practice that does not have a reasonable basis, or has a negative impact on employees or job applicants age 40 or older, or who have a disability, is also considered discriminatory.

New York and New Jersey Disability Discrimination Lawyers

Disability discrimination is less favorable treatment against a job applicant or employee who has a qualified disability, and is prohibited under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may also be protected by the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Pregnancy discrimination is also illegal and protected by the ADA and FMLA.

Likewise, age discrimination, defined as a less favorable treatment against an employee or job applicant age 40 or older, is prohibited by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). Employees or applicants under the age of 40 are not protected by the ADEA.

It is crucial to the success of your case that you seek counsel experienced in employment law immediately upon suffering age or disability discrimination. Timely filing and collection of evidence is of the utmost importance. Our compassionate and skilled attorneys will carefully and thoughtfully investigate the circumstances surrounding your claim.
