Employment Discrimination Law
Employment Discrimination falls under a variety of laws established by the Federal Government’s Department of Justice (DOJ) and are overseen by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
You may have heard of some of these terms or laws. They are designed to protect groups of Americans who suffer discrimination in the workplace based on their:
- Age
- Race
- Color
- Gender
- Sexual preferences
- Religion
- Nationality
Examples of Federal Employment Acts that fight discrimination:
- Civil Rights Act of 1964: Prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin
- Equal Pay Act of 1963: Protects men and women who perform the same or similar work at the same company from wage discrimination based on gender
- Age Discrimination in Employment Act 1967: Protects workers over 40 years old in cases of age discrimination
- Americans with Disabilities Act 1990: Provides protection from discrimination for workers with disabilities working in private companies and for local and state governments
- Rehabilitation Act of 1970: Sections of this act protect federal employees with disabilities
- Civil Rights Act 1990: This allows the possibility for plaintiffs to receive monetary damages if they can prove intentional discrimination
