1. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin if your businesses that has 15 or more employees.
2. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) prohibits age discrimination against employees who are forty years old or older if the business has 20 or more employees.
