Extend Age Title For Free

A. Congress considered prohibiting age discrimination in employment as part of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 196211 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but amendments to include age as a protected characteristic failed.

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 protects workers age 40 or older from experiencing discrimination based on their age. The act applies to young and older professionals and prohibits discriminated at your job under circumstances surrounding assignments, harassment, wrongful firings and layoffs.

Third, both empirical evidence (Adams 2004; Neumark and Stock 1999) and the workings of age discrimination enforcement suggest that, at present, the ADEA is more effective at reducing age discrimination in terminations than in hiring (Neumark 2009).

Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) makes it unlawful to discriminate against someone on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity) or religion.

This happens when someone treats you worse than another person in a similar situation because of your age. For example: your employer refuses to allow you to do a training course because she thinks you are 'too old', but allows younger colleagues to do the training.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act does not cover federal employees or independent contractors. However, federal employees are protected against discrimination by other federal anti-discrimination laws.
