A Couple Of Recent EEOC Cases Raise The Question Of Whether Employers Understand Age Discrimination

• A staffing company in New Jersey paid $50,000 to settle a case in which the company sent an email to an applicant notifying him that that he would not be considered for a position because he was “born before 1945” and “age will matter.”
• An oral surgery practice in Michigan paid $47,000 to settle a case in which the company fired an employee with 37 years of service 4 days after her 65^th birthday because they had a company policy which required employees to retire at age 65.
