The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities, such as modified telephone equipment for a deaf employee. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on a person's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act prohibits employment discrimination against individuals 40 years of age or older. The Discrimination Act of 1999 is not a real legislation.
