EEOC Awards $78,000 in Age Discrimination Suit

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recently announced that a septuagenarian receptionist would be awarded $78,000 in a settlement over alleged age discrimination and disability discrimination. The woman was allegedly fired from her job after a brief hospitalization, despite no previous complaints about her job performance before or afterwards. This suit is a sign of how employers can harm older employees with their employment decisions, even against employees who are effective in their roles.

The Employees Lawyer Weighs in on Age Discrimination in the Workplace

Prospective employers, under law, cannot ask a prospective job applicant such questions as “How old are you?” “Aren’t you a little old to apply for this job?” or “What year were you born?” This applies to companies accepting online applications.

Placing a question about the job seeker’s date of birth or year of graduation from college may be illegal because it allows the interviewer to dismiss the applicant on the basis he or she is “too old” or “overqualified.”

    I can't recommend Steven Sack highly enough. He is an exceptional employment lawyer—knowledgeable, strategic, responsive, and incredibly effective. From our first conversation, I felt confident that I was in the best possible hands.

    Steven achieved an outcome that far exceeded my expectations and brought an enormous sense of relief during an incredibly stressful time. His expertise, professionalism, and ability to navigate a difficult employment matter were truly outstanding.

    If you're looking for an employment attorney who is experienced, compassionate, and delivers results, I would wholeheartedly recommend Steven Sack.

    From my very first conversation with Steven, I knew I was in good hands. He took the time to truly listen to my situation, made me feel heard, and immediately gave me confidence that I had the right team on my side during one of the most difficult times in my life. One gesture that I’ll never forget was when he sent me a copy of his book with a thoughtful handwritten note. It wasn’t something he had to do, but it showed the kind of person he is and how much he genuinely cares about the people he represents. His guidance went far beyond legal advice. I can’t say enough about how grateful I am for Steven and the decades he has dedicated to advocating for his clients. It’s clear that this isn’t just a profession for him. He truly cares about helping people move forward. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been one of his clients, and it was an honor to work with him. I’m deeply grateful for everything he did for me and would recommend him without hesitation.

    I have heard about Steven being exceptional, i.e real "employee attorney", straightforward and honest. Now, I have'd first hand experience working with him and can add to that he is also a remarkable human being - tough, and realistic, and a real pleasure to work with: he is returning calls 24/7 and get you the best deal you can possibly hope for!
