AGE DISCRIMINATION
In today's high-tech job market, many employers undervalue the wisdom and contribution that older workers provide. As a result, older workers are sometimes pushed aside or terminated because of their age. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) is a federal law that prohibits employment discrimination because of age. An individual must be over 40 years of age to be protected and the employer must have 20 or more employees each working day within twenty weeks of the current calendar year.
Many states have passed laws patterned after the ADEA that are designed to combat age discrimination. For example, the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act of 1993 (TCHRA) is a state law that also prohibits age discrimination in the workplace. The employer must have 15 employees each working day within 20 calendar weeks in the current or preceding year for the Act to apply.
