Age Discrimination Claims in Oklahoma

If you are over 40 the law protects you from employment discrimination based on age. It is illegal to discriminate against an employee or a job applicant because of his or her age with respect to any term, condition, or privilege of employment.  This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, hiring, firing, promotion, layoff, compensation, benefits, job assignments, and training.

Age discrimination can happen under many different circumstances.  For example, if, before you were fired, forced to resign, or forced to retire, your employer made age-related remarks about you to you, or to others, or in your job evaluations, which caused you to believe that your age played some role in the employment decisions made against you, this may be actionable.

Just as with race discrimination or gender discrimination, it happens more frequently than most of us would like to admit.  However, that does not make it any more legal.  The laws are there to protect you, and you did nothing wrong.  And you will be doing nothing wrong by getting what is your rightful due.
