Protecting Equal Employment Opportunities for Employees in Texas and Across the Nation

Your employee rights include the right to work in an environment that is free from harassment and discrimination. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal laws prohibiting job discrimination are as follows:

• Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), prohibiting discrimination in employment based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin;
• The Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA), which states that men and women doing equal work at the same employer should receive equal pay;
• The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), which protects workers 40 years of age or older from job discrimination;
• Title I and Title V of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA);
• Sections 501 and 505 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities who work in the federal government; and
• The Civil Rights Act of 1991, which allows for monetary damages in cases of intentional employment discrimination.
