Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida
Age Discrimination
The company is relocating the accounting office to another company owned facility. I was offered another position at a lower rate (about $5000 per year less). I was told that there is a rumor that I might retire in a year and a half. There was another position available, more suitable to my qualifications, but it was offered to a younger candidate.

Re: Age Discrimination
If you believe your age (over 40 under Federal Law) was a motivating factor in why you were selected, the decision could very well be unlawful and you should consult with an attorney immediately to learn what steps you can take to try and seek redress.
