Editorial Team

All calculator methodology and guide content on agediscriminationcalc.com is written and reviewed by The Click Lab’s editorial team before publication. Our editorial standards require that legal claims be traceable to primary authorities — statutes, agency regulations, or published judicial decisions — and that calculator formulas be documented in full on the methodology page.

Employment Law & Age Discrimination Practice

Our editorial team leads editorial oversight for agediscriminationcalc.com. With a background in employment law paralegal work and a focus on ADEA and age discrimination litigation, the team has spent over a decade supporting employment attorneys through age discrimination claims, reduction-in-force challenges, and EEOC proceedings involving workers 40 and older. That litigation support work — reviewing EEOC charge files, tracking circuit court developments on the but-for causation standard and willfulness doctrine, and monitoring agency guidance updates — informs the editorial standards applied to every page on this site.

This side of the team reviews the calculator methodology for consistency with current ADEA case law and EEOC enforcement guidance, monitors legislative and regulatory developments that affect the model’s assumptions, and edits all guide content for accuracy and appropriate scope. A recurring editorial emphasis: communicating the material differences between ADEA and Title VII protections, and ensuring readers understand the procedural requirements — EEOC exhaustion deadlines in particular — that are easy to miss and impossible to fix after the fact.

Workplace Discrimination & Employment Claims Research

Our team also contributes research and writing for agediscriminationcalc.com, focusing on the practical mechanics of ADEA claims: eligibility analysis, the statutory damages framework, the EEOC charge process, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA) requirements for severance waivers, and how state age discrimination laws interact with and expand on federal ADEA protections. This research background spans published employment law reviews, circuit court surveys on the willfulness standard, and EEOC enforcement data on age discrimination charge outcomes.

This side of the team writes the guide content and FAQ responses, with an emphasis on making technically complex procedural requirements — EEOC deadlines, waiver validity, the distinction between disparate treatment and disparate impact — accessible to employees without legal training.

Editorial Standards

• Every factual and legal claim is sourced to a primary authority (statute, federal regulation, or published judicial decision).
• Calculator formulas are documented in full on the methodology page.
• Pages are reviewed and updated when ADEA law, EEOC regulations, or significant appellate decisions affect accuracy.
• No sponsored content, paid placements, or advertiser influence on editorial decisions.
• All content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Readers with potential ADEA claims should consult a licensed employment attorney and file with the EEOC promptly to preserve their rights.

Separately, the case-review form on our homepage is a disclosed paid referral: submitting it shares your information with attorneys who may compensate The Click Lab Agency LLC for the introduction. That’s an advertising product, distinct from the editorial content on this page, and it has no influence on the standards above. See our privacy policy for details on what’s shared if you use it.
