Age Discrimination in Employment Act
• The ADEA forbids age discrimination/harassment against people who are age 40 or older – Some state laws may protect younger workers from age
discrimination– Harassment can include, for example, offensive remarks about a
person's age ‐ harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted).
• An employment policy or practice that applies to everyone, regardless of age, can be illegal if:– it has a negative impact on applicants or employees age 40 or
older and – It is not based on a reasonable factor other than age

– Performance of essential functions at time of decision – not at some point in the future
– Must consider whether reasonable accommodations could allow performance!
2014 ASA Conference Workplace Jeopardy 12
![Page 13: Workshop K: Jeopardy in the Aerospace Workplace · (b) Each employee shall comply with occupational safety and health standards and all rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052723/5f0e5b667e708231d43eda28/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What are Essential Functions?
• Consider:– Are other employees actually required to perform the function in question?
– Would removing the function which the individual is unable to perform fundamentally change the job?
– Does the position exist to perform the function?– Are other employees available to help?– Is the task consistent with the written job description?
2014 ASA Conference Workplace Jeopardy 13
![Page 14: Workshop K: Jeopardy in the Aerospace Workplace · (b) Each employee shall comply with occupational safety and health standards and all rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052723/5f0e5b667e708231d43eda28/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What Are Reasonable Accommodations?
• Three General Types:– Changes in the job application process so that a qualified applicant with a disability can be considered for the job;
– Modifications to the work environment – including how a job is performed – so that a qualified individual with a disability can perform the job; and
– Changes so that an employee with a disability can enjoy equal benefits and privileges of employment (lunchrooms, lounges, restrooms)
2014 ASA Conference Workplace Jeopardy 14
![Page 15: Workshop K: Jeopardy in the Aerospace Workplace · (b) Each employee shall comply with occupational safety and health standards and all rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052723/5f0e5b667e708231d43eda28/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Things You Can Do that May Reflect Reasonable Accommodations

Has the employee requested an accommodation?
• It is enough if the employer is on notice that the employee has a disability that requires an accommodation– No magic language is required– Need not use the term “reasonable accommodation”– Knowledge of disability + knowledge of need for accommodation may be enough
• Even if the employee did not request an accomodation
– Does not need to be made in writing
