Introduction
The case is related to the employment termination of Mary, the employer of XYZ business. The organization made discrimination on the basis of age with the old employers and terminated the employees over 55 years of age. Mary found this as a case of age discrimination with the old employees and this has led to termination of many employees who have served for so many years for the organization.
Mary, the 14 year old ex- employer of XYZ Business has been recently terminated as a result of the RIF plan. She got the information a few days back that the company has terminated employees over 55 years of age. This is a discriminatory act which is not correct under the ADEA i.e. Age Discrimination in Employment Act. According to this act, no older employee should be terminated or given reduced benefits on the basis of age. She has an experience of 14 years in the company and was a responsible middle management employee of the company. This law applies to both the employees as well as the job applicants. It is an act of the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) which protects the employees who are 40 and above 40 years of age from any kind of age discrimination (Age Discrimination, 2008).

The company should have given the employees a chance for presenting their grievances under a proper grievance handling system before taking such actions. Mary requested the HR manager to reinstate her back in the company as this was an unjust and illegal act. She wants to work on the same position and perform the same functions as previously she used to and wants the HR manager to kindly investigate this matter and re-analyze the acts and laws that apply to the situation (Federal Laws Prohibiting Job Discrimination, 2008).
She wants the HR manager to look for appropriate remedies for the situation i.e. the management should review the situation and should take action as per the laws and regulations. It can cut its expenses in other areas rather than intentional termination and can frame its policies according to the EEOC laws.
According to the Civil Rights Act, if any company goes for intentional employment discrimination, it provides monetary ...
