The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older from employment discrimination based on age. This law makes it illegal for employers to discriminate against workers based on their age when making hiring, promotion, discharge, compensation, or other employment-related decisions. In this case, Ted was not offered the job due to his age, which is a violation of the ADEA.
