Fort Lauderdale Age Discrimination Attorney
Fort Lauderdale age discrimination lawyer Randy Fleischer can help navigate you through age discrimination lawsuits. It is illegal to discriminate because of age in employment. Refusal to hire, promote, or otherwise treat employees differently in the workplace because of age violates the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). If you can prove that your age was a motivating factor in the decision. The ADEA protects workers over forty (40) years of age. In order to prevail you must be able to prove that someone substantially younger was treated differently or replaced you in your position. The Florida Civil Rights Act does not define age. The Broward Ordinance protects people from age discrimination who are over 18 years of age.
Broward County does have its own ordinance regarding discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations. Contact Fort Lauderdale age discrimination attorney Randy Fleischer to navigate workplace discrimination laws.
