I know the last 3 law firms I've worked for all removed birthdates from their public information. If you want to be included on the firm birthday schedule, only the month and day are reveled and you must give permission for it to be posted.

Thanks so much for your reply, Doug. Seems to be the consensus that it
should not be done, but no actual rule or law against it.
One reply mentioned the Older Worker's Benefit Protection Act, which I
then queried and only found that An HR department may make a list to
prove they did not discriminated against anyone, but I would believe it
should not be distributed.
Any response to that from the list?

Great question. Were I an attorney, I'd recommend against it, since it
could be used as evidence that an organization had engaged in age-based
discrimination in promotions, layoffs, etc. It would be quite difficult
to explain what purpose such a list would serve, OTHER than to promote
age discrimination.

I have a question regarding the privacy rights of one's age. Is a
company allowed to distribute a list of everyone of their employee's
ages to everyone of their employees?
