The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) is a federal statute that prohibits employment discrimination against persons 40 years of age or older. The ADEA is located in the United States Code, beginning at 29 U.S.C. §621.
In Nevada, as in all states, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) provides federal protections for employees and job applicants who are 40 years of age or older from discrimination in hiring, promotion, discharge, compensation, or terms, conditions, or privileges of employment. The ADEA applies to employers with 20 or more employees, including state and local governments, employment agencies, and labor organizations. Additionally, Nevada has state laws that complement the ADEA, such as the Nevada Equal Rights Commission (NERC) which enforces state laws against age discrimination in employment. These state laws may provide additional protections and may cover smaller employers not subject to the ADEA. It's important for employers and employees in Nevada to understand their rights and obligations under both federal and state laws regarding age discrimination.
For many, age can be a barrier to employment opportunities due to unfounded prejudices or biases. Recognizing the need to protect older workers from unfair treatment, Congress passed the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) in 1967.
