Los Angeles Age Discrimination Lawyer
California law prohibits employment discrimination on account of an employee's age (provided the age is 40 or over). Generally, to state a claim for age discrimination, an employee must at least initially show that he suffered an adverse employment action, which at the time of such action he was 40 years of age or older, the employee was performing his job satisfactorily and the employee was replaced or treated differently than significantly younger employees.

In some cases, discriminatory intent may be shown by employer remarks that include anti-age bias. Many times an employer will justify an employee's termination as part of overall layoffs attributable to economic reasons. But under California law, downsizing is not necessarily a sufficient explanation for dismissal of age-protected workers if there was discriminatory intent in terms of choosing who got laid off.
