Age Discrimination Attorneys Cincinnati, Ohio
Federal and state law protects employees over the age of 40 from discrimination on the basis of age. Specifically, it is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against any employee because of his age with respect to any term, condition or privilege of employment, including hiring, firing, promotion, layoff, compensation, benefits, job assignments and training.
As the workforce is getting older, companies have increasingly begun to eliminate positions and employees on account of age. Many loyal, hardworking, and often long-term employees have found themselves unexpectedly facing terminations which jeopardize not only their current income but also their long-term retirement plans. Such terminations may be further complicated by the offer of a severance package which forces already strained employees to quickly decide whether to give up their legal rights in return for some immediate monetary compensation or benefits.
We can help. At The Law Office of Marc Mezibov, our employment attorneys will offer guidance and support no matter your situation. We are prepared to fight to help you keep your job, to help you decide whether to accept a severance agreement, or to challenge an employer's discriminatory action in court or an administrative agency.
Many of the laws relating to age discrimination require employees to act quickly and may require employees to go through a federal or state administrative agency prior to filing a claim in court. Accordingly, if you are over the age of 40 and believe that you may be the victim of age discrimination, contact The Law Office of Marc Mezibov so that our experienced employment lawyers may assess your situation and provide you with the legal know how to protect your rights.
