Persons at the age of 40 and above are well protected by the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act against prohibited discrimination in the workplace. This law offers protection against discrimination in recruiting and hiring practices, pay, benefits, training, promotions, discipline and mandatory retirement. Being the department that is responsible for reinforcing company policies and maintaining proper employee relations according to the law, the HR department is mandated to handle issues as well as prevent any kind of age discrimination in the organizations they represent. There are methods that HR managers can employ so as to detect age discrimination before there are adverse effects for the employees or the business in general.
HRs are mandated with the responsibility of developing clear organization policies that reflect business philosophy and those that specify actions for enforcement on age discrimination. By understanding how to handle age discrimination in workplaces, HR managers are able to protect all employees, whether old or young, against discrimination for the overall good of the business.
