THE PHOSPHORUS PROBLEM
Sure, we all want a green healthy lawn, but how we get there matters. Phosphorous pollution comes from fertilizer that washes off our lawns with rain and overwatering. It eventually makes its way to our lakes, streams, and rivers. Increased phosphorus in our rivers and lakes feeds algae causing it to grow out of control! Algae blooms degrade water quality and impact people, pets and wildlife. Learn to fertilize without phosphorus.

Q.
Given the county's recent push to be more inclusive, have we ever considered expanding our age discrimination definition to include adults of all ages? While the standard has always been age 40+ for that protected class, the specific age cutoff has never made sense to me. At their core, employment discrimination laws are meant to protect a person from a negative action based on some characteristic that is not job-related. While someone may be viewed as too old for a job despite their qualifications, a person could just easy easily be viewed as too young to be qualified. Or as a silly example, a 37 year old could be viewed as "too old" for an entry level job.
To tie this back to my original question, it has also been reported that younger generations are becoming more diverse, so has the county considered expanding our internal definition of age discrimination in an attempt to foster more inclusivity?
A.
Thank you for your question. There are two pieces to this; the first is the legal requirement. The protected categories in our EEO statement are driven by federal and state law. Federal law (the Age Discrimination in Employment Act) protects individuals age 40 and over from discrimination based on age. We can not change the law and what it protects, and we are required to abide by established law.
With that said, there is the legal requirement, and then there are our expectations as an employer. We do encourage and desire to foster an inclusive, respectful and professional workplace. Age should not be a consideration in whether or not to hire a candidate. It has no bearing on whether or not someone is qualified for a job. If you or anyone else feels like they have been subject to discrimination based on your age, that is something we encourage you to discuss with your supervisor, or HR Generalist, because that is not the kind of work environment we want to have at Larimer County.
