| COURSE DESCRIPTION: The number of workers aged 55 and older has been steadily increasing as the baby boom population begins to turn 60. By 2014 they will make up more than 21% of the U.S. workforce. And because of recent economic troubles, many won’t be retiring any time soon.
As this base of older workers grows, so does your risk of facing age discrimination claims.
Truth is, however, older workers are seldom intentionally targeted for discrimination. Organizations and managers don’t typically have an anti-age agenda. Most age discrimination problems happen for one reason. Managers and supervisors lack of knowledge of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) that protects the rights of workers 40 and over.
If you haven’t come up with a game plan to educate your organization’s leaders about this critical issue, it’s time to start now.
That’s why we’ve invited Melissa Fleischer, Esq., an expert on discrimination and employment law, to get your team up to speed on what they need to know and do. This webinar will show you how to protect your organization from age discrimination claims and what your rights and responsibilities are under the ADEA. In addition, we’ll discuss recent cases to provide examples of mistakes that lead to age discrimination claims.
You’ll learn:
- What the ADEA is and who enforces this employment discrimination law
- Exceptions to the law – and why you must be careful when facing them
- Typical age-related claims employees make and what they need to prove to win their case
- Different types of claims for age discrimination including “disparate treatment” and “disparate impact”
- Pitfalls managers must avoid to prevent age discrimination
