This is a MYTH.

With regard to federal anti-discrimination laws, the EEOC says:

✅"If you have at least one employee: You are covered by the law that requires employers to provide equal pay for equal work to male and female employees.

✅If you have 15 to 19 employees: You are covered by the laws that prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, s*x (including pregnancy, s*xual orientation, or gender identity), national origin, disability and genetic information (including family medical history). You are also covered by the law that requires employers to provide equal pay for equal work.

✅ If you have 20 or more employees: You are covered by the laws that prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, s*x (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability and genetic information (including family medical history). You are also covered by the law that requires employers to provide equal pay for equal work."

🚩Additionally, keep in mind that many state have enacted anti-discrimination laws that may also apply to small businesses even if the federal anti-discrimination laws above do not all apply due to business size.
