In order to protect persons aged forty and older， the Age Discrimination in Employment Act was enacted in 167. This act protects applicants and employees forty years of age or older from discrimination due to age in hiring， promotion， discharge， compensation， terms， conditions， or privileges of employment. The law covers applicants to， and employees of， most private employers， state and local governments， educational institutions， employment agencies， and labor organizations. Employers are prohibited from failing to hire persons in this age group， and they may not limit， segregate， classify， discharge， or force retirement upon their employees so as to discriminate against persons in this age group. Both federal and state laws protect these persons.
Any employer who intentionally discriminates on the basis of age is subject to a civil lawsuit for damages， including emotional distress. There are， however， administrative remedies that must be exhausted under both state and Federal law before bringing an action in court.
If you have any questions on age discrimination， please contact an attorney in your area.
翻譯：為了保護年齡在40歲或40以上人的權益，167年通過了《雇員年齡歧視法》。這部法規(guī)保護年齡在40或40以上的申請者和雇員在受雇、晉升、解聘、補償、受雇期限、地位以及享有的特權免受年齡歧視。這部法規(guī)適用于申請者、雇員、絕大多數的私營雇主、州和當地政府，教育機構、職業(yè)中介和勞工組織。雇主不可故意不聘在40歲左右這個年齡段的雇員，并不可以對雇員限制、區(qū)分、解聘、或強迫退休造成對此年齡段的歧視。聯(lián)邦法和州法對此群體都有法律進行保護。
任何有意對年齡有歧視的雇主都會導致要求賠償的法律訴訟包括受到情感上的壓力。當然，向法庭提起訴訟必須用盡州和聯(lián)邦法下的行政救濟。
如果你在年齡歧視方面存在疑問，可與當地律師聯(lián)系。
