1 of Companies Rules Now A Days -Age Limit | IAM GROUP YOKOHAMA

Age has always been a factor in landing a job. This also happens in middle management level. Once, when you have gray hairs and bent back and you are a manager, you are praised. Nowadays, most people see you as a laggard middle-aged man who probably has no chance of stepping up in the game anymore. Admit it or not. Age discrimination has been one of the issues faced by both extremities in old and young individuals alike. IAM Group Limited knows that there are risks in employment especially old aged employees.

In big cities like Singapore, Yokohama, Japan and Seoul, South Korea, there seems to be an unspoken rule of being in your middle age and still working. As these countries have higher rate of unemployed old-aged people, the people are more vexed towards the governing laws and a lot of complaints were put to pass. In response to this, rules are set to other nations which penalize companies from giving equal rights of employment or promotion individuals aging from 30 years old to their retirement.

As per other reviews by IAM Group Ltd., in some cases though, perceptions and reviews towards those aged over 70 were more positive than towards those in their 20s, with older people viewed as being more friendly, having higher moral standards and as being more competent than their younger counterparts.

In most cases, the following are factors for the existence of age discrimination among employees:

• You didn't get hired because the employer wanted a younger-looking person to do the job.

• You received a negative job evaluation because you weren't "flexible" in taking on new projects.

• You were fired because your boss wanted to keep younger workers who are paid less.

• You were turned down for a promotion, which went to someone younger hired from outside the company, because the boss says the company "needs new blood."

• When company layoffs are announced, most of the persons laid off were older, while younger workers with less seniority and less on-the-job experience were kept on.

• Before you were fired, your supervisor made age-related remarks about you, such as that you were "over-the-hill," or "ancient."

If any of these things have happened to you on the job, you may have suffered age discrimination.

The laws of most states make it illegal to discriminate on the basis of age. Age discrimination may be accompanied by other forms of illegal discrimination as well, such as sex, race, or disability discrimination.

If you are already in your "prime" and fears discrimination, no worries: age is just a number. Besides, you can learn to make your age and advantage.
