ADEA – Age Discrimination in Employment Act in Oklahoma

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA, Pub. L. No. 90-202, 81 Stat. 602; 29 U.S.C. § 621 through 29 U.S.C. § 634) protects employees and applicants age forty (40) or older from discrimination on the basis of age, including protection from retaliation against a person due to complaints about age discrimination, discrimination, or participation in an investigation of an age discrimination charge.
