While Denver is a great place to retire, more Americans ages 65+ are remaining in the workforce. When a worker faces age discrimination, serious harm can result. If you’ve experienced discrimination because you’re over 40, it might be time to hire a Denver age discrimination lawyer from King Employment Law.
Often, employers try to hire younger employees to save money, but both federal and state laws protect workers over 40 from this kind of illegal discrimination. The Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA) and the federal Age Discrimination Employment Act (ADEA) forbid age-based discrimination.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that 9.5% of the civilian labor force will be over age 65 by 2030. In 2023, 11.2 million Americans aged 65 or older were working or seeking employment. Yet, according to a 2021 Bell Policy Center study, over 30% of Coloradans reported experiencing age discrimination.
Age discrimination occurs when you are treated less favorably by an employer or prospective employer because of your age. Some examples of common forms of age discrimination are:
Hiring a Denver age discrimination lawyer who is well-versed in the laws protecting workers over 40 may help you retain your employment, receive unpaid wages, or earn compensation for lost wages due to workplace discrimination.
If you’re missing out on lucrative jobs or better assignments solely because you’re over 40, your employer is subjecting you to derogatory comments, or you’ve been fired due to your age, a Denver age discrimination lawyer from King Employment Law can help you file a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Division (CCRD) or, in some cases, the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
If your employment is in Denver, you may also file a complaint with the Denver Anti-Discrimination Office (DADO) on W. Colfax Ave.
Getting older is never easy, but age discrimination can make working as an older adult even more difficult. At King Employment Law, we work passionately for equal employment rights. From the time you file your complaint to the time you go to court, we can be by your side, giving you counsel you can trust.
Our skilled professionals can help you file your complaint, emphasizing the details that can lend weight to your age discrimination claim. After your complaint is filed with the correct agency, we can gather evidence and interview witnesses to build a strong case. Our goal is to have such indisputable evidence that your company will want to settle in mediation. However, we are fully prepared to go to trial and represent your interests in court if necessary.
With over 90 years of combined experience in employment law, our compassionate attorneys can help pave the way to a better employment experience. We can pursue both fair treatment and compensation for lost wages, lost work opportunities, and lost wage raises due to missed promotions. In certain cases, we can also press for emotional suffering.
How hard it is to succeed in an age discrimination case in Denver depends on the specifics of your situation. The factors that have the greatest impact on your case are:
A Denver age discrimination attorney can help you decide whether you have a case to pursue.
Colorado has two age discrimination laws. The first is the Colorado Age Discrimination Act (CADA), followed by the Protecting Opportunities and Workers’ Rights (POWR) Act. While CADA covers the basics of age discrimination, POWR reinforces the law and adds stronger protection against age discrimination by expanding the definition of harassment, as well as expanding the time limit for filing age discrimination cases filed with the CCRD to 300 days.
The proof you need to prove age discrimination can vary, but one thing you must prove is that your employer is discriminating against you because of your age. This may look like sudden poor performance reviews, or you may have good performance reviews, but younger employees are promoted ahead of you. It may look like pressure to retire, constant negative comments about your age, or layoffs ahead of newer employees.
Keeping a record of these instances is essential to proving your case.
