Age Discrimination

Age discrimination is prohibited by state and federal law. California law provides greater protections for older workers. 

State and federal age discrimination laws operate differently. The federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) applies only to employers with 20 or more employees. California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) applies to all California employers with five or more employees.  FEHA generally provides more protection to older workers. ADEA and FEHA apply to employers, the state and federal government, employment agencies and labor organizations.
