Older workers bring a great deal of experience and knowledge to their jobs. However, despite their proven ability and commitment to their jobs, many workers over the age of 40 are finding themselves the victims of layoffs and company reorganizations. If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated or have been passed over for a promotion because of your age, you may be able to pursue an age discrimination claim against your employer.
The attorneys at Caryn Groedel & Associates Co., LPA, stand up for the rights of employees throughout northeast Ohio who have been discriminated against or harassed because of their age. Our lawyers bring more than 50 years of combined experience in employment law to your case. We will work hard to ensure that your rights and interests are protected.
Cleveland Harassment Attorneys
In today's difficult economy, many employers are letting go of older, high-earning workers to cut costs. Though it is not against the law for an employer to let a worker go because he or she makes more money, when a large percentage of the employees laid off are over the age of 40, age discrimination may have been a factor in the decision.
If you are over the age of 40 and have suddenly found yourself being laid off due to a reorganization, have been passed over for a promotion that was given to a younger, lesser qualified employee or your employer has suddenly imposed an education requirement that you cannot meet, our experienced Cleveland age discrimination attorneys will help you determine if you have a viable claim.
