Which legal act protects individuals from workplace discrimination based on age?
ADA
CRA
FLSA
ADEA
The correct answer is: ADEA
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) is a federal law that prohibits employment discrimination against individuals who are 40 years of age or older. Option A, the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), protects against discrimination based on disability, not age. Option B, CRA (Civil Rights Act), prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin, but does not specifically mention age. Option C, FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act), protects against workplace violations such as minimum wage and overtime pay, but not discrimination based on age. Therefore, the ADEA is the most appropriate answer for this question.
