Employment Discrimination Laws Exceptions

[LordJustice]

Here is a rundown of the most notable federal employment discrimination laws and their exceptions:

1. Civil Rights Act of 1964 – Under this law, it is illegal to discriminate against an employee on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex. However, not all employers are liable this law such as:
* Federal government
* Federally recognized Native American tribes
* Religious groups performing work connected to the group’s activities including associated education institutions
* Bona fide non-profit private membership organizations

Further, another exception is that this is only applicable to employers who employ 15 or more employees for 20 or more weeks in the current or preceding calendar year.

2. Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) – Under the ADEA, it is illegal to discriminate or treat an employee or applicant less favorably in any employment practices because of his age. However, this law notably only prohibits age discrimination against people who are 40 years old or older. Also, employers with 20 or more employees are the only ones covered under the ADEA.

3. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) – Title I of the ADA provides that it is unlawful to treat a qualified individual with a disability who is an employee or applicant unfavorably on the basis of his or her disability. But the protection is only applicable to employees who work under employers engaged in interstate commerce and having 15 or more workers.

It is a bit more complex than that.

While employers do not discriminate and can place should be appropriate for the disabled as well as to accommodate religious practices, employers do not make unreasonable accommodation. If, for example, it can be a very expensive scope to accommodate a disabled person would do a particular job, it can be considered an undue burden, and the employer does not make the accommodation. Similarly, a religious accommodation very expensive to make or cause other employees to work extra or longer, could not have housing needs. Reasonableness of accommodation required on a case by case rate is assumed, the costs against the company is unable or religious person gains weight.
