Helping Workers Over 40 Pursue Compensation for Unfair Treatment
Are younger employees being given more training than you? Do you suspect they are being groomed for your job? Are younger associates being given better clients, sales, territories or customer bases? If so, you have legal options. Ohio and federal law prohibit employment discrimination against employees because they are 40 years old or older.
If you believe you are being discriminated against based on your age, it is time to take an honest evaluation of your situation and seek the assistance of a skilled employment law attorney. At Bolek Besser Glesius LLC, our Cleveland age discrimination attorneys represent clients over 40 who have been fired or crowded out of their jobs to make room for younger employees.
Making Sure You Take the Right Steps to Pursue Your Legal Options
Unlawful age discrimination of course includes firing employees because they are over 40. But it also includes demotions, pay cuts, unfavorable job assignments, harassment, and denials of other benefits and privileges given to younger employees when those decisions are based on age. Retaliation against employees who complain about age discrimination is also prohibited.
For employees in Ohio, the age discrimination laws include many traps for the unwary. If you fail to take the right steps in the right order, you may lose the opportunity to pursue all possible claims against your employer.
In addition, each of the several different laws forbidding age discrimination in Ohio has its own statute of limitations (time limit) on claims. Our lawyers have handled many age discrimination lawsuits, and we can help you successfully navigate the procedural mazes so you can get the results you deserve.
