Extractions: There are a number of federal laws that prohibit discrimination in the workplace. Most apply to select employers but a few apply to virtually all employers. The main laws that employers should be aware of are: Title VII prohibits employers from discriminating against applicants and employees on the basis of race or color, religion, sex, pregnancy, childbirth and national origin (including membership in a Native American tribe). It also prohibits employers from retaliating against an applicant or employee who asserts his or her rights under the law. For example, an employer cannot fire someone for complaining about race discrimination. To learn more about retaliation, see Avoiding Retaliation Complaints by Employees.

Extractions: California's aging workforce got a sobering message Monday from the state Supreme Court: The boss can treat a younger colleague in the next cubicle to better benefits without breaking the law. In a ruling that could apply to company perks ranging from stock options to vacation time, the court unanimously found that California's anti-discrimination laws do not bar employers from using age to deny benefits to workers. Those laws still prevent age bias in hiring, firing and promotions, and they prevent employers from varying benefits based on employees' gender, race and religion. But the justices ruled that employers are free to clip costs when it comes to limiting benefits for workers older than 40 although federal law would most likely still protect workers' health benefits.
