Tess Holloway (TH) — Editor-in-Chief, Employment Law & Age Discrimination Practice

Tess Holloway leads editorial oversight for agediscriminationcalc.com. With a background in employment law paralegal work and a focus on ADEA and age discrimination litigation, Tess 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.

Tess 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.

Ulric Emmons (UE) — Contributing Writer, Workplace Discrimination & Employment Claims Research

Ulric Emmons 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. Ulric’s research background spans published employment law reviews, circuit court surveys on the willfulness standard, and EEOC enforcement data on age discrimination charge outcomes.

Ulric 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. All content is reviewed by Tess Holloway before publication.
