Age Discrimination

Washington and Idaho Age Discrimination Attorneys

In an ideal workplace, age earns respect, and dedication to an employer is rewarded. Unfortunately, not all workplaces are ideal. Age discrimination is defined as the mistreatment of workers over 40. These cases can be challenging to prove, often requiring a demonstration that older workers as a whole are treated differently than younger workers by an employer. At the Law Office of Christine M. Weaver, we have the experience to meet that challenge.

The attorneys at the Law Office of Christine M. Weaver have represented workers in Washington and Idaho years. We are committed to advising employers on legal compliance in the workplace. When they fail to do so, we are just as committed to working hard to see that you get what you deserve.

Age discrimination cases often involve an older employee who is set up to fail. He or she is placed on a performance plan, terminated, and then quickly replaced by a younger employee. In many cases, this type of action is used against more than one employee. Whether this is your situation, or you have encountered another form of age discrimination, we can help. Age discrimination is a violation of your civil rights. We take these matters very seriously.

An employee who has a long record of service has most likely achieved a higher salary, earned more time off, and accumulated greater retirement benefits. By replacing an older employee with a younger one, an employer can often save a significant amount of money. However, such replacement is often an unfair labor practice.
