This is a "divide and conquer" issue. There are many of us who have 10 plus years with the company and are 53 or less years of age. Why should a 54 + year old with less seniority get a "lump sum" bonus?
"The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) makes it unlawful for you to “discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual’s age.” It’s important to note, however, that only workers who are at least 40 years old are allowed to file a claim under the ADEA."
Any legal experts? If this passes could it potentially be a lawsuit for reverse age discrimination?
