Our Texas age discrimination lawyers fight against employers who practice age discrimination. Layoffs are a particularly tricky issue because older workers have a number of rights under a law called the Older Worker Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”). This law requires employees over 40 years of age to have 45 days to consider severance agreements and 7 days to revoke their severances after signing if they change their minds. An employer is required to furnish information such as the ages of the employees retained and of those employees that were laid off. An employer who violates the OWBPA may be sued for age discrimination. Plus, the employee is allowed to keep the settlement funds. Contact our employment lawyers in Dallas for assistance with a OWBPA related claim.
An employer may not retaliate against an employee for opposing age discrimination or for filing an age discrimination EEOC charge, testifying, or participating in any way in an investigation, proceeding, or for bringing an age discrimination suit under the ADEA.
Contact Our Employment Attorneys ImmediatelyImportantly, an employee suffering from age discrimination has a limited time to take action. Federal workers must generally make a complaint with the EEO of their agency within 45 days. Private sector and other government workers generally have between 180 and 300 days to make a complaint to the EEOC and/or their State Fair Employment Practices Agency. Because of these short deadlines, you should contact the employment lawyers in our Dallas office immediately if you believe you have a claim of age discrimination in employment. It is important to know your employee rights. Employment law is all we do, and we fight hard for employee justice.
