Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is false. While employers with fewer than fifteen employees are exempt from some federal employment discrimination laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, they are not automatically shielded from all federal employment discrimination laws. For example, they are still subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Additionally, there may be state or local employment discrimination laws that apply regardless of an employer's size.
