Age Discrimination

When the New Kid Costs You Your Job

When an employer is looking to fill a job, they want experience. The more prepared a prospective staff member is, the easier the transition to the new company. Longtime employees are often recognized for their loyalty and career progression.

However, an experienced professional is usually an older individual, making them susceptible to age discrimination. When that happens, you can rely on a hard-charging, Kansas City attorney at the Employee Rights Law Firm—Law Offices of Mark A. Jess, L.L.C. to be at your side.

If your termination or recent layoff seems to focus more on your age than your work history, you may have a claim of discrimination. Contact us at 816-399-5609 or toll free at 877-287-2162.

When an Employer Discriminates Based on Age

Layoffs based upon age often take the form of an employer wanting to cut out the “dead wood” or inject some “new blood” into the company. Regardless of an employer's need to bring in new staff or streamline an existing team, you still have rights against age discrimination.
