The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) is a federal law that protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older from employment discrimination based on age. The ADEA applies to employers with 20 or more employees on each working day in each of 20 or more calendar weeks in a current or prior calendar year. The law also applies to employment agencies and labor organizations.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces the ADEA and may assess fines and other penalties against employers that violate the law. The EEOC may also award compensatory and punitive damages to individuals who are adversely affected by an employer’s ADEA violation.

This Compliance Overview provides a summary of the ADEA’s requirements for employers.
