Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Laura can file the claim for age discrimination because the waiver did not comply with the requirement specifying that each employee be given 45 days to review the waiver. Where a waiver is offered in exchange for an early retirement plan, as opposed to some other consideration, the individual must have 45 days in which to consider signing the agreement. As Laura was not given 45 days to consider the agreement, she can file a claim for age discrimination.
