Employees across the country have endured workplace discrimination for generations.

Even today, despite strong federal and state laws that prohibit it, unlawful discrimination still occurs in subtle and not-so-subtle ways.

What Counts as Discrimination at Work?

In Massachusetts, it is illegal for an employer to treat an employee or job applicant unfairly because of a protected characteristic. These include:

Race
/
National origin
/
Age
/
Sex
/
Gender identity
/
Sexual orientation
/
Religion
/
Disability
/
Pregnancy or pregnancy-related conditions
/
Veteran status
/
Genetic information
/
Other protected categories under state and federal law

Your employer cannot take adverse actions such as refusing to hire you, firing you, cutting your hours, demoting you, reducing your pay, or denying you a promotion because of any of these protected characteristics.

Retaliation Is Also Illegal

Discrimination laws protect more than just the characteristics listed above. They also protect your right to speak up. Your employer is prohibited from punishing you because you:

Reported discrimination or harassment

Requested a reasonable accommodation

Participated in a workplace investigation

Supported a coworker’s discrimination complaint

Retaliation is one of the most common and most serious violations of employment law.

Why these cases can be hard to spot

Discrimination is not always blatant.

Employers often mask unlawful motives behind excuses such as “restructuring,” “performance concerns,” or “budget cuts.” Determining whether what happened to you is illegal requires experience, legal knowledge, and a careful review of the facts.
