Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act specifically prohibits discrimination and harassment based on an individual's age, providing protection to employees who face such treatment because of their age. The Act applies to individuals who are 40 years of age or older and work in companies with 20 or more employees, which satisfies neither option A nor E. Neither disabilities nor preferential treatment of younger workers are the main focus of the ADEA law.
