In a ruling that could apply to company perks ranging from stock options to vacation time, the court unanimously found that California's anti-discrimination laws do not bar employers from using age to deny benefits to workers. Those laws still prevent age bias in hiring, firing and promotions, and they prevent employers from varying benefits based on employees' gender, race and religion. But the justices ruled that employers are free to clip costs when it comes to limiting benefits for workers older than 40 although federal law would most likely still protect workers' health benefits.
