Addressing Age Discrimination in the Federal Workplace
A reference to dinosaurs, a joke about retirement, or the snide “OK Boomer” – nothing wrong with that if it’s said in fun, right? Wrong! And if you think those are the only actions that’ll lead to an age discrimination claim, you’re wrong again.
In this 60-minute discussion on age discrimination, you will learn what the law says you can and can’t say or do in the workplace when it relates to an employee’s age. This session covers everything from hiring to promotion, and hostile work environment to performance appraisals.
Learning objectives
- Understand the various theories of age discrimination in the Federal workplace.
- Identify the types of conduct that give rise to age discrimination claims.
- Know the dos and don’ts when discussing age-related topics in the workplace including retirement, OWBPA, and more.
Event FAQs
Is there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training?
Yes. Many agencies have requested that full-day courses be taught over two half-days to ensure maximum engagement, especially when the course is being taught virtually. Any course can be spread out over multiple days or condensed into shorter sessions. And shorter classes can often be combined to build longer courses covering more topics. We’ll be happy to discuss the options that are most convenient to you.
In what format is this class held?
The class may be held onsite at an agency location, or as a live virtual event. Virtual events are generally held using your agency’s platform (Zoom, WebEx, Teams, etc.). In certain situations where FELTG hosts, the event will be held on Zoom or Teams.
Can I earn CLE credits for this class?
CLE applications are the responsibility of each attendee; FELTG does not apply for the credits on behalf of attendees. If you are seeking CLE credit, you may use the materials provided by FELTG in submission to your state bar. You may also request a certificate of completion which will contain the number of training hours attended.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Training Courses
Can I attend Virtual Training from my government computer?
FELTG uses Zoom to broadcast our Virtual Training Institute events. Many government computers and systems allow Zoom access. If for some reason your firewall will not allow access, you’re welcome to use your personal email address to register, and to attend the sessions from your personal device.
Can I share my access link with co-workers?
No. Registration for each event is per individual, and access links may not be shared. Each link may only be used by one person.
Can I register a teleworker?
Each event is individual registration, so the cost is the same whether the person is teleworking or in an agency facility.
How do I receive a group rate discount?
Group rates are available for agencies registering 10 or more individuals. Group discounts end the same day as early bird registration. Please see the event description for exact details.
