Their application CAN ask if you are 21 or older and that you must be 21 or older to have that job. THEY deserved it but now you. Unless it was a bar or something and it was common sense that you have to be 21.

More details plz..

I don't know how it works down south, but here in Canada we have to fill out tax forms for employers, and it must include your name, D.O.B., and social insurance number (our version of America's social security number). No such law about asking for your birth date anywhere in Canada as far as I know.

An employer cannot legally ask your age. They can ask if you meet the age requirement for employment at their company. All the ID, tax forms, DoB stuff comes after you are already hired.

Don't ask don't tell

if you knew the company policy was that you had to be 21 and you're 19, why would you apply to begin with? you must know that it couldnt end well

Don't most employment applications have a birthdate section to fill out? They should have known your age from that. And I've never heard of an employer not being allowed to ask someone's age, especially if they have to be a certain age to even work there. O.o

Technically in order to have even gotten the job, unless it's one of those weird ones where you work under the table and there is no proper hiring process, they would have required your date of birth and asked about your age.

Well some places can't hire illegal aliens but they also can't ask if you're here legally.

sounds like "we have to pass this bill first to see what's in it" smh
