Federal employment discrimination law involves a body of statutes, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; the Equal Pay Act of 1963, designed to prevent gender-based discrimination; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, which protects workers who are 40 years of age or older; and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires employers to make reasonable accommodations and prevents discrimination against employees with disabilities. Most states have laws that closely parallel these federal statutes.
