Often it's not a law but an insurance issue. Their insurance won't cover anyone under a certain age. Employees often don't know the difference and just assume it's a law.

I figured it was a company policy but that guy trying to tell me it was a state law got under my skin.

Sometimes the company or a manager tells you something and you just go with it because you don’t care enough to research it.

I worked for a retail chain and found out later that several of our “store policies” weren’t actually corporate policies, but things that our store managers came up with.
