Federal Anti-Discrimination Laws
Title VII, the ADA, the ADEA, and the Equal Pay Act are enforced by the EEOC.
The rule
USAGov lists these workplace laws and the agency that enforces them. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination or harassment based on race, color, sex, religion, national origin, and related protected grounds, and it covers retaliation for reporting. The Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits disability discrimination and requires reasonable accommodation. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act protects employees and applicants over 40. The Equal Pay Act requires equal pay for equal work between men and women in the same position.
What employers must do
Do not make hiring, pay, or assignment decisions on a protected basis. Provide a reasonable accommodation for a disability when the ADA requires it. This review did not confirm the employee-count thresholds (such as 15 or 20) from an EEOC page, so those thresholds are not stated here.
Effective dates
These statutes are current. No January 1, 2027 amendment was on the USAGov page reviewed.
What this means for BOSS partners and associates
BOSS is often the employer of record for the associate. Wage, break, leave, posting, and tax rules usually follow the state where the associate works. Tell BOSS that state before the assignment starts. Associates should record every hour worked on the timesheet. Do not promise a pay practice, a leave bank, or a posting the statute does not require.
