Age
- Age discrimination involves treating someone (an applicant or employee) less favorably because of his or her age.
- The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) only forbids age discrimination against people who are age 40 or older. It does not protect workers under the age of 40, although some states do have laws that protect younger workers from age discrimination.
- It is not illegal for an employer or other covered entity to favor an older worker over a younger one, even if both workers are age 40 or older.
- Discrimination can occur when the victim and the person who inflicted the discrimination are both over 40.

Disability Discrimination
- Disability discrimination occurs when an employer or other entity covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act, as changed, or the Rehabilitation Act, as changed, treats a qualified individual with a disability who is an employee or applicant unfavorably because she has a disability. Learn more about the Act at ADA at 25.
- Disability discrimination also occurs when a covered employer or other entity treats an applicant or employee less favorably because she has a history of a disability (such as cancer that is controlled or in remission) or because she is believed to have a physical or mental impairment that is not transitory (lasting or expected to last six months or less) and minor (even if she does not have such an impairment).

Religion
- Religious discrimination involves treating a person (an applicant or employee) unfavorably because of his or her religious beliefs. The law protects not only people who belong to traditional, organized religions, such as Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism, but also others who have sincerely held religious, ethical or moral beliefs.
