The ADEA Checklist is a tool used to determine if an employee has been subjected to age discrimination. It typically includes questions such as:

• Did you feel that your age was a factor in the decision made by your employer?
• Were you treated differently than similarly situated employees who were not as old?
• Was there a policy or practice in place that disproportionately affected older workers?
• Were you passed over for promotion, training, or other opportunities because of your age?
• Did you experience harassment or retaliation based on your age?

This checklist is often used by the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) to investigate complaints of age discrimination.

Implementing an ADEA Checklist can help your organization by:

• Identifying and addressing potential age-related biases in hiring, promotion, and termination decisions
• Ensuring compliance with federal and state laws related to age discrimination
• Reducing liability and minimizing the risk of costly lawsuits
• Promoting a culture of inclusivity and respect for all employees, regardless of age
• Providing a framework for training and education on age-related issues in the workplace
• Facilitating the development of effective policies and procedures for managing employee aging processes
