Age Discrimination in the Workplace

Under both federal and state law, it is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against an employee on the basis of age. The lower age limit for protection under the ADEA is 40 years of age.
If your employer is treating people over 40 less favorably than employees under 40, then you may be able to bring a legal claim against your employer for money damages — under either the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) or the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act (WFEA).
Similarly, if your employer has terminated you and replaced you with a younger employee — even if that employee is over 40 years old — you may have a valid claim for money damages under the ADEA.

Age discrimination in the form of a wrongful termination often appears under the guise of lay-offs or other company-wide changes. It can also be found in differences between pension plans, compensation levels or other employment benefits. Age discrimination might also be the underlying cause of an employer's refusal to promote a qualified employee.
