A private shipping company, OceanLink Freight, posts for 'Operations Manager' with an explicit age cap: 'Applicants must be under 29 years old.' A 46-year-old candidate with 18 years of logistics experience is rejected; a 28-year-old with 9 years is hired. In a separate internal promotion, a 40-year-old supervisor with an excellent track record is bypassed in favor of a 27-year-old with similar qualifications. Under Republic Act No. 10911 (Age Discrimination in Employment), which of the following is the most accurate analysis?

Choose the Best Answer

The case would be handled solely by the National Labor Relations Commission; the Commission on Human Rights has no role in private-sector age discrimination. RA 10911 may permit age caps if the job truly requires younger workers due to physical demands; the company may defend the actions by proving a bona fide occupational qualification or legitimate business necessity. Both actions violate RA 10911; absent a proven bona fide occupational qualification or legitimate business necessity, age-based hiring and promotion are unlawful; remedies include reinstatement or back pay, damages, and enforcement by DOLE and NLRC. Even if the company can justify the age cap, the complainants may still seek damages for discriminatory practice; the law provides for moral damages as part of the remedy.
