I work for a firm which has seven branch locations in the state. Due to economic reasons we are looking at downsizing the poorest performing location. We are doing this numerous ways one of which is asking the clerk to go part-tiime. If she doesn't want pt we are looking at eleminating her position. Our problem is she is in a protected age class. She also has absenteeism problems, but the location manager has no documentation.
If things start to look up in the next year or two we are going to hire someone back, more than likely a male who could do both clerical work as well has maintenance work.
Is this legal? If not what do we need to do to make sure we are?

Please tell us you didn't say you plan to lay off an older female and rehire a male. First, if the company decides to eliminate the job, then that's fine. But is is real unwise to then turn around and fill it, period, much less stating you're looking to fill it with a male. x:-)
