An employer's use of the term “overqualified” may be a sign of age discrimination. It is unlawful for an employer not to hire an experienced older person based solely on the assumption that they might become bored or dissatisfied and leave the job.
Proving age discrimination can also be found in patterns. If an employer has a pattern of hiring only younger people, promoting only younger people, and making jokes about older people, then this can be used to help prove your case. Often, these types of cases can require considerable discovery and witness testimony.
If at any time you think that you have been subjected to age discrimination, contact the Civil Rights Center at 202-693-6500 (voice), 7-1-1 (relay), Room N-4123 (Frances Perkins Building), or by e-mail at Civil RightsCenter@dol within 45 days of the alleged discriminatory event in order to preserve your right to ...

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, prohibits discriminating against workers age 40 and over during all stages of employment, including hiring and layoffs.

In general, an employee's burden of proof is easier under California law, where the employee only has to show that age was a “substantial motivating factor” in an employment decision. Under federal law, an employee must show that the employer made a decision because of the employee's age.
Under the ADEA it is unlawful to discriminate against any individual age 40 or older because of their age with respect to any term, condition, or privilege of employment, including but not limited to, recruitment, hiring, firing, promotion, layoff, compensation, benefits, job assignments, and training.
Under the California Fair Housing and Employment Act, employers in California are prohibited from discriminating against workers who are ages 40 and older on the basis of their ages. 6 Like the ADEA, employers under the state law are prohibited from discriminating against older workers in all aspects of employment.
