Defenses to ADEA/Age Discrimination Claims
One of the most common defenses that an employer may use in response to an ADEA claim is the "bona fide occupational qualification" defense. This defense allows employers to make employment decisions based on age if age is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the business. For example, if a company is casting actors for a movie that requires a specific age range, they may be able to use the bona fide occupational qualification defense to justify their casting decisions.
