It is against federal law to base any employment decisions on age. TheAge Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) protects individuals who are 40 years of age and older from employment discrimination on the basis of age. Moreover, it is unlawful to discriminate against a person because of his or her age with respect to any terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, including hiring, promotion, compensation, job assignment, and disciplinary action.  In order to legally refuse to hire someone based on their age, there must be an objective ability or skill related reason for the refusal such as lack of required experience.
