Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Designation] [Company Name] [Company Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Formal Complaint of Age Discrimination in Violation of New York State Laws Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally lodge a complaint of age discrimination against [Company Name]. As an employee who has faithfully served the company for [number of years], I have recently experienced actions and treatment that are in direct violation of the New York State Human Rights Law (NRL), as well as federal laws protecting employees from age discrimination. I regret to inform you that I have been subject to unfair treatment based solely on my age. The discriminatory actions and practices I have faced include, but are not limited to: 1. Exclusion from important meetings and decision-making processes that directly affect my job responsibilities and career advancement. 2. Being undermined and disregarded during team discussions, with my opinions and suggestions given little value. 3. Continuous pressure to resign or retire early, despite my exemplary performance and contribution to the company's success. 4. Being assigned menial tasks that are far below my skill level and job description, while younger employees are regularly given more challenging assignments. 5. Receiving fewer training opportunities compared to younger colleagues, hindering my professional development and limiting my chances for promotion. It is disheartening to have dedicated years of my life to [Company Name], only to face such unjust treatment solely based on my age. As an experienced employee, my skills, expertise, and dedication should be valued and recognized, rather than disregarded. I firmly believe that everyone deserves equal opportunities and fair treatment, regardless of their age. According to the NRL, it is unlawful for any employer to discriminate against an individual based on their age, which is defined as being 40 years or older. Your company has a legal obligation to protect its employees from age discrimination and ensure a fair and unbiased work environment. Instead, the actions taken by the company have caused me emotional distress, undermined my self-confidence, and affected my professional growth. To resolve this matter and in accordance with the NRL, I kindly request the following remedial actions: 1. Immediate cessation of any discriminatory practices and behaviors. 2. Fair reinstatement of my job responsibilities and inclusion in decision-making processes. 3. Compensation for damages suffered, including emotional distress and any lost job opportunities resulting from the discrimination. 4. Implementation of comprehensive anti-discrimination policies and training sessions to prevent future occurrences. I trust that [Company Name] takes this complaint seriously and will promptly conduct a thorough and unbiased investigation into these allegations. I am open to engaging in constructive dialogue to reach a fair resolution that would not necessitate legal action. However, should these concerns be ignored or inadequately addressed, I am prepared to escalate this matter by filing a formal complaint with the New York State Division of Human Rights. Please acknowledge receipt of this complaint within [specify a reasonable timeline] and provide me with details on the investigation process. I expect to be kept informed of any progress or developments regarding my complaint. Thank you for your immediate attention to this issue. I look forward to a prompt and fair resolution that upholds the principles of equality and fairness that we are all entitled to. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
