New Supreme Court Term

The Supreme Court will begin its new term on October 1, and employers should pay close attention to the docket.  This year, the Court will hear several employment law cases, and in particular several ADEA matters. 

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 protects workers age 40 and over from employment-related discrimination.  As your workforce ages and new generations start working (and supervising), make sure you understand at least the basics of the ADEA.  A great place to start is the Age Discrimination part of the EEOC website at http://www.eeoc.gov/types/age.html.
