Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Americans with Disabilities Act covers employers with 15 or more employees, so the First Family Painting Company's 16 employees are covered by this law. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 also covers employers with 15 or more employees and prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, so the employees are covered by this law as well. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 applies to employers with 20 or more employees, so it does not apply to the First Family Painting Company.
