Age Discrimination

Discriminating against an employee, applicant, or former employee who is 40 years old or older. This can include:

  • Treating the person less favorably because of age, and/or
  • Using an employment policy or practice that has a negative effect on the person (and is not based on a reasonable factor other than age).

Information about employee protection from age discrimination is on the Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law (EEO is the Law) posting.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals with disabilities. It covers businesses with 15 or more employees.
Information about the ADA is on the Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law (EEO is the Law) posting. This posting must be visible to both applicants and employees.

Applicant Information Poster

A poster containing the three federal postings that must be visible to applicants for employment:

  • Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law,
  • Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA), and
  • Family and Medical Leave Act.

If an employer interviews job candidates in an area where labor law posters are not displayed, the Applicant Information Poster may be displayed to make the applicants aware of employment law rights.
