Age discrimination among company executives

There are managers who suffer from age discrimination in companies. Their high salaries or their more critical sense in the performance of their work are some of the causes that sometimes lead to the desire to remove these professionals from their positions.

José María Labadía, partner in the labor area, comments in El País: "drastic cuts are being made in middle management due to age". The recommendation of our labor lawyer in situations of age discrimination is: "to go to the company's complaint channel, which activates the harassment protocol due to discrimination, in this case due to ageism".

And he adds two points, the first: "It is very important to do it (better in writing) because the guarantee of indemnity protects the worker from any possible retaliation by the company"; and the second: "file a lawsuit for violation of fundamental rights".

In the event that it is the manager who decides to leave his position, he explains that "you have to file a lawsuit for termination of the employment relationship also for violation of fundamental rights. If he wins, he will be entitled to the compensation for unfair dismissal plus the amount for violation of these rights". 

Our labor lawyers are experts in senior management dismissals.
