Continuing economic uncertainty and changes in the structure of the workplace are fueling growth in age discrimination claims. As businesses continue to downsize, it often has an outsize impact on older workers. Changes to employer-provided retirement and health benefits, which can have a larger impact on older workers, are also a source of substantial age-based claims. With age claims growing source of concern and liability for employers, this program will provide you with a practical guide to major developments in age discrimination litigation and discuss best practices for avoiding liability.
 
Highlights:
  • Age discrimination case law and regulatory update
  • Reductions in force, economic distress, and age claims
  • Retirement and health benefit issues and age discrimination
  • Gross and “but-for” causation
  • Meacham and “reasonable factor other than age” in adverse impact theory cases
