Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An employee filing an action against an employer under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) based on disparate treatment must prove age discrimination by utilizing the method of proof for Title VII cases originally set forth in McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green and later adapted to age discrimination claims under the ADEA. Under this approach, the employee must establish the following four elements to persuade the court that she or he even has a claim for age discrimination: the employee is in the protected class; she or he suffered an adverse employment action (was terminated or demoted); the employee was doing her or his job well enough to meet her or his employer's legitimate expectations; and others not in the protected class were treated more favorably.
