Age Discrimination

It is against the law for an employer to dismiss an employee, deny training, recruitment or promotion on the grounds of age. You cannot be denied a job or the chance of training, promotion or retirement because of your age. Age discrimination may occur at any time when applying for or within your job. An employer must ensure that there is no work place age discrimination – either direct or indirect – against older, and in some cases younger workers. However, age discrimination is not considered against the law when it is necessary for the employee’s safety or welfare, such as hiring younger workers for physically demanding work. If you have been discriminated against because of your age, your age discrimination lawyer can bring a claim to the Employment Tribunal, and that is where Legal Compare can assist you.
