Supreme Court of the United States
Mount Lemmon Fire District, Petitioner v. John Guido
November 6, 2018586 U.S. 1
Summary
The Court held that the Age Discrimination in Employment Act’s definition of “employer” includes states and political subdivisions regardless of the number of employees, so the Mount Lemmon Fire District is an employer under the ADEA; the Ninth Circuit’s judgment was affirmed.
Holding
- Does the ADEA’s 20‑employee numerosity requirement apply to state entities and political subdivisions, or are they covered as employers regardless of size?. States and political subdivisions are “employers” under the ADEA regardless of the number of employees; the 20‑employee threshold applies only to persons engaged in an industry affecting commerce.
Docket 17–587.
