Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), all employees who work for employers with 20 or more employees are covered by this law. Thus, regardless of occupation, if your company/employer has less than 20 employees, you shall not be covered under this law.

However, some states may provide a more comprehensive exemption to age discrimination laws.

The law specifies no exempt occupations, only millions of exempt employers.

But since all EEO laws exempt employees of religious institutions. the occupations of priest and nun are exempt.
