Work Discrimination ~ Harassment ~ Suspension ~ Termination Employment Law ServicesAgressively representing employees in all areas of employment law and litigation. Whether your situation involves discrimination, wrongful termination, harassment, wage and hour issues, or any other workplace dispute, the Law Offices of Robert H. Fennessy can assist you in all areas of employment law, including:
Equal Opportunity Employment in MassachusettsFederal and state laws guarantee employees the right to work free of discrimination and harassment based on race, sex (gender), pregnancy, religion, national origin, age and disability and other protected classifications. Therefore, if you are denied employment, denied a promotion or are discharged on account of your protected status, you may have a claim.
Retaliation / Whistleblower Laws The same laws that protect employees from discrimination also protect them from the further injustice of employer retaliation and retaliatory discharge. If you have opposed discrimination in the workplace or have filed an MCAD or EEOC charge, and your employer retaliates against you by firing, demoting, or disciplining you, you may have a claim.
Employment Discrimination A victim of employment discrimination and retaliation must file his or her charge with the MCAD and/or Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The filing of an MCAD or EEOC charge is normally a prerequisite to a lawsuit for discrimination or retaliation. An employee must file a charge of discrimination or retaliation with the MCAD within 300 days of when he or she learned of the adverse employment action or harassment. . |
