Discrimination in Benefits Due to Age
Federal law prohibits discrimination in the workplace against workers
that are over 40 years old. These laws prohibit employers from reducing
or eliminating benefits, insurance or pay based on the age of the
employee. The law further states that an employer cannot stop the
pensions from accruing if an employee works past the normal retirement age.
Benefit Discrimination Facts:
- Reducing benefits because an employee is over 40 years old can be discrimination.
- Reducing pay based entirely on age can be considered discrimination.
- Suspending pensions because an employee is past the normal retirement age is discrimination.
