    The ADEA prohibits policy’s that will have a harmful effect on individuals 40 or over unless the employer can prove the policy is based on a reasonable factor other than age. On March 30, 2012, the EEOC published its final ruling on reasonable factor other than age which took effect on April 30th 2012. An example of an employment practice based on a reasonable factor other than age is a physical fitness test.

    Age: the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) protects those ages 40 and over, it does not protect those under 40. Employers may favor an older worker over a younger worker, even if both are 40 or over. Issues may arise, though, when both the individual making the hire and the applicant are over age 40. Examples of age-based bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) are mandatory retirement ages for air traffic controllers [56, exceptions to 61] and airline pilots [65].…

    FLSA requires observance with payment of minimum wage. The federal minimum wage according to the US department of Labor "for covered nonexempt employees is $5.15 per hour. The federal minimum wage provisions are contained in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Many states also have minimum wage laws. Where an employee is subject to both the state and federal minimum wage laws, the employee is entitled to the higher of the two minimum wages." (www.dol.gov) FLSA does not take the place of any state or local laws that are more favorable to employees. For Example, in the state of California, minimum wage is 6.75/hour, so the employee would profit from taking the larger of the two hourly wages. The FLSA explains "no employer shall employ any of his employees for a workweek longer than forty hours unless such employee receives compensation for his employment in excess of [forty] hours . . . at a rate not less than one and one-half times the regular rate at which he is employed." (Law enforcement…

    Federal tax, state tax, local tax, unemployment tax, gift tax; the list goes on and on. Everything besides certain food items and certain recreational tickets has some sort of tax. There are some taxes that may not be necessary though. Every paycheck, there is money taken out for taxes, and some of that money goes directly to welfare programs. Now, this may not be such a big deal, but since 2008 the amount of participants on U.S. food welfare programs literally doubled by 2012.
