A cause of action for employment discrimination can be based on age. Essentially, no officer or board, whether state or county, may discriminate in the employment of any person solely on the basis of age. A plaintiff seeking damages for employment discrimination based on age should consult an experienced West Palm Beach employment discrimination lawyer. A qualified West Palm Beach employment discrimination lawyer may advise a plaintiff that it is unlawful for a labor organization to:

• Exclude or expel from its membership, or otherwise discriminate against, any individual on the basis of age;
  
  

  Limit segregate, or classify its membership, or fail to refuse to refer for employment, an individual in any way that would limit, deprive, or tend to deprive the individual of employment opportunities or that would otherwise adversely affect the individual's status as an employee or as an applicant for employment, solely because of age; or

  Cause or attempt to cause an employer to discriminate against an individual in violation of the law.

  Additionally, it is considered an unlawful employment practice for an employment agency to fail or refuse to refer for employment, or otherwise to discriminate against, any individual because of age, or to classify or refer for employment any individual on the basis of age. An "employment agency" is defined as any entity or person, including any agent thereof, regularly participating in procuring employees for an employer, including state and local employment services receiving federal assistance. Furthermore, a state employee within state career service system may appeal an alleged violation to the Public Employees Relations Commission, and any other person or any employee of the Public Employees Relations Commission may bring a civil action alleging a violation in any court of competent jurisdiction.
