What Is the ADEA?
Job applicants and employees who are over the age of 40 are protected from age-based employment discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). The ADEA makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate against a worker because of their age in typical conditions of employment, like interviewing, hiring, compensating, disciplining, terminating, or promoting. While the ADEA intends to prevent employers from discriminating against older workers in favor of those under 40, it also prohibits discrimination between older workers. This means that an employer cannot hire Frank, 47, over Eric, 59, because Frank is younger. Employees under the age of 40 cannot claim age discrimination under the ADEA. Does my business have to comply with the ADEA? The ADEA applies to employers with 20 or more employees, including federal, state and local governments, employment agencies, and labor organizations. An employer may request that worker waive his/her rights or claims under the ADE
