What are some examples of age-based harassment?
Age harassment involves unwelcome and offensive conduct in the workplace that is based on a person’s age (age 40 or older). The harasser can be a supervisor, a co-worker, or someone who does not work for the employer, such as a client or customer. Age harassment can include age-based jokes or comments, offensive cartoons, drawing, symbols, or gestures, and other verbal and physical conduct based on an individual’s age.
