|
1. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)-The purpose of the Bill was to protect black men, and females of all races, from job and other discrimination. It prohibited
discrimination in public facilities, in government, and in employment. 2. Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) Protects certain applicants and employees 40 years of age and older from discrimination on the basis of age in hiring, promotion, discharge, compensation, or terms, conditions or privileges of employment. 3. Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA)-Prohibits private employers, state and local governments, employment agencies and labor unions from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment. The ADA covers employers with 15 or more employees, including state and local governments. It also applies to employment agencies and to labor organizations. |
4. The Uniformed Services Employment Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA)- Provides reemployment protection and other benefits for veterans and
employees who perform military service. Under USERRA, if a military member leaves his/her civilian job for service in the uniformed services, he/she is entitled to return to the job, with accrued seniority, provided they meet the law's eligibility criteria. USERRA applies to voluntary as well as involuntary service, in peacetime as well as wartime, and the law applies to virtually all civilian employers, including the Federal Government, State and local governments, and private employers, regardless of size. 5. Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA)-Passed to control unauthorized immigration to the United States.
