disabled veterans, Vietnam-era veterans (41 C.F.R.
60-250.4) and individuals with disabilities (41 C.F.R.
60-741.4). These clauses are a part of covered contracts

Age Discrimination in
Employment Act (ADEA) of
1967
Americans with Disabilities Act The ADA is a federal anti-discrimination law which
prohibits private employers, state and local
(ADA) of 1990
governments, employment agencies and labor unions
from discriminating against qualified individuals with
disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing,
advancement, compensation, job training and other
terms, conditions and privileges of employment. This
law (covering employers with 15 or more employees) is
designed to remove barriers that prevent qualified
individuals with disabilities from enjoying the same
employment opportunities that are available to persons
without disabilities. When an individual's disability
creates a barrier to employment opportunities, the ADA
requires employers to consider whether a reasonable
accommodation could remove the barrier.

Health savings accounts (HSA) A tax-free account that can be used by employees to pay
for qualified medical expenses. Contributions do not
have to be spent the year they are deposited. Money in
the account earns interest and accumulates tax free, so
the funds can be used now and in the future. If an
employee leaves the job, he or she can take the account
with him or her and continue to use it to pay for
qualified healthcare expenses. To be eligible for a
Health Savings Account, an individual must be covered
by a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), must not be
covered by other health insurance (does not apply to
specific injury insurance and accident, disability, dental
care, vision care, long-term care), is not eligible for
Medicare and cant be claimed as a dependent on
someone elses tax return.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act Title VII is a provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
that prohibits discrimination in virtually every
of 1964
employment circumstance on the basis of race, color,
religion, gender, pregnancy or national origin. In
general, Title VII applies to employers with 15 or more
employees. The purpose of Title VII's protections is to
"level the playing field" by forcing employers to
consider only objective, job-related criteria in making
employment decisions. Title VII must be considered
when reviewing applications or resumes, when
interviewing candidates, when testing job applicants
and when considering employees for promotions,
transfers or any other employment-related benefit or
condition.
