On Discrimination In Workplace

A great deal of government regulation has focused on discrimination in workplace settings in the US. The Federal laws prohibiting discrimination in the workplace are enforced by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The regulations that focus on discrimination in workplace settings include: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibiting employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA), promoting wage equality for men and women; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), providing protection to employees over 40 years of age; Title I and Title V of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), protects individuals from discrimination based on disabilities; and the Civil Rights Act of 1991, which provides many different protections, including money damages where employment discrimination was intentional.
