Recently, several workers have approached you with questions regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), and the Equal Pay Act (EPA). Review the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) links in the student resources for guidance with this assignment.

• What is the EEOC, and who does it protect?
• What is Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and what are several reasonable accommodations employers can provide?
• What is the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and why is it not acceptable to inquire about someone’s age during an interview?
• What is the Equal Pay Act (EPA) and how does it address gender discrimination?
