What prohibits employers from discriminating based on age?

ADA
ADEA
OSHA
FLSA

The correct answer is: ADEA

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) is the law that specifically prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals based on their age, particularly those aged 40 and older. The ADEA aims to protect older employees from discrimination in various aspects of employment, including hiring, promotions, and layoffs, ensuring they are treated fairly and with respect in the workplace. In addition to outlining prohibited practices, the ADEA also establishes guidelines for the enforcement of these protections, allowing individuals to file complaints and seek remedies for violations. This act acknowledges the contributions older workers bring to the workforce and reinforces the principle that age should not be a barrier to employment opportunities or career advancement. While the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects individuals with disabilities, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) focuses on workplace safety and health standards, and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) deals with wage and hour laws, none of these provide the specific age-related protections offered by the ADEA.
