Losing your job is difficult at any stage of life. But for workers over 40, layoffs can raise additional concerns about fairness, transparency, and legality.
If you were part of a group layoff, you may have received a severance agreement. In these cases, it is important to understand your rights under federal law.
The OWBPA provides specific protections for employees over 40, especially in group layoffs. These rules are not optional; employers must follow strict requirements for any waiver of your rights to be valid.
The experienced San Diego age discrimination attorney at Eugene Bruno & Associates helps employees understand their rights and make informed decisions during major life transitions, such as layoffs. If your rights were violated, you may be eligible to seek compensation.
