The information will state all the Employment Laws in Texas and show the proper Employment Law Compliance Plan for Landslide Limousines. Mr. Stonefield is opening a Limousine Company and plans on having 25 employees. This Employment Law Compliance plan will help his company avoid any consequences or problems that could come about if the proper laws are not in compliance.         Employment laws are beneficial to both the Employer and the Employee. The employment laws tell employers how they have to treat their employees. There are federal and state laws that protect the employee from several different areas. Below are the detailed laws both Federal, and state in Austin, Texas are as follows:                         The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986Occupational Safety and Health ActThe Civil Rights Act of 1964The Texas Labor Code Anti-Discrimination ProvisionsThe Texas Minimum Wage LawThe Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967According to “Texas Workforce Commission” (2011), “Texas Labor Code Chapter 21 (Chapter 21) and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) forbid discrimination against people who are age 40 or older”. This act forbids an employer to be discriminatory against an individual because of their age with respect to any condition, term, or privilege of employment, including, promotion, hiring, job assignments, training, layoff, compensation, firing, and benefits. The ADEA is applied to a company who has 20 or more employees. If the organization does not follow this law, and a person feels discriminated against then the individual can file a suit against the employer. The court reserves the rights to make the employer give the individual discriminated against benefits and wages in an amount the court believe is appropriate, and suitable due to the discrimination (Age Discrimination: What Employers Need to Know, n.d.). The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986
