Castelluccio v. IBM (Age Discrimination)
James Castelluccio claimed that IBM fired him in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Castelluccio, who began working for IBM in 1968 and by 2000 had been promoted to vice-president, claimed that his performance reviews were “positive and above-average”. He claimed that, when he turned 60, he was transferred to a much more demanding job in an effort to get him to retire. In January 2014, a federal jury awarded Castelluccio nearly $1 million in back pay and benefits (doubled under the law) and $500,000 in damages. He was later awarded an additional $996,000 in attorney fees and $209,488 to offset the tax consequences of receiving back pay as a lump sum payment.
