    Q. If I am part of a company division or class of employees being laid off, does
    the ADEA protect me?
    A. Yes, if the employer considered age a factor in the layoff. Employers may make
    layoff decisions based on reasonable factors other than age. However, sometimes those
    factors merely mask age discrimination. For example, if an employer lays-off only higher
    paid employees, it is possible that the employer is unlawfully discriminating against older
    employees. Higher pay is often synonymous with higher age.
