Workplace age discrimination
Discrimination against age is a practise that is expressly prohibited by statute. Companies cannot
specify an age preference on employment advertising for an unusual exception. Employees must
enjoy the same compensation no matter their age, but the only exception is that the cost to provide
young employees with additional benefits is the same as the cost of supplying older workers with
decreased benefits. Furthermore, sexism on the basis of age is unlawful in apprenticeship
programmes.
