Ohio Employee Rights Attorney
If you are 40 years of age or older, you have protection against discrimination in the workplace under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (the ADEA) and the Ohio Civil Rights Act. Your employer cannot simply replace you with a substantially younger employee because of your age. Your employer is also prohibited from changing the conditions and terms of your employment to discriminate against you based on your age. If you believe you have been wrongfully treated on the job because you are older, you want an experienced lawyer to protect your rights.
At the law office of Paul J. Corrado, we have protected the rights of employees in Ohio and Pennsylvania for more than 25 years. Before opening our practice in 2001, Paul was a partner working in mid-sized and large law firms, where he garnered extensive experience and a substantial depth of practice in employment law matters. We offer the knowledge, experience, skill and resources you expect from a large law office with the personal service of a small law firm.
We built our practice on a commitment to providing a high level of personal service to every client. We listen carefully to your questions and concerns, so that we have a full understanding of the facts and circumstances of your case. We will help you identify all your options and will provide you with a realistic assessment of your case.
Protecting You Against Ageism in the Workplace
We handle age discrimination claims involving all types of wrongful conduct such as:
- Changes in evaluations based on your age
- Changes in duties, such as requiring you to perform menial tasks or asking you to handle physically taxing assignments that are not normally part of your job
- Changes in working conditions, including training a substantially younger new hire who the employer hired to replace you (of course without informing you of that fact)
- Being excluded from meetings, or denied prior responsibilities
In any discrimination case, it is important that you know your company's policies and that you take all reasonable steps outlined in those policies. Age discrimination actions are difficult to prove and it is important to let the company know at the time that you believe you are being discriminated against.
