Description

Age discrimination is often dressed up in neutral language: restructuring, culture fit, fresh energy, a layoff that somehow only hits workers over 40. Naming the pattern clearly is what turns a gut feeling into a charge.

These four (4) samples illustrate how to write your particular charge in various contexts:

1 Pretext + Comparator Sample
1 Pretext Only Sample
1 Comparator Only Sample
1 Retaliation Sample

You will get real-format example charges for age discrimination, structured the way the EEOC expects and written the way a seasoned employment attorney would frame them: a clear timeline, the comparisons and comments that reveal age bias, and language that ties it all together.

Study it to understand the detail and framing that make a charge effective. It is an illustrative, educational example, not legal advice and not a form to file as written. Because a Charge of Discrimination is sworn under penalty of perjury, your charge must reflect your own truthful experience, in your own words. Learn what strong looks like, then build yours.
