Boston Wrongful Termination Lawyer

The Boston law firm Rudolph Friedmann LLP represents employers and employees in wrongful termination claims. In Massachusetts, the at-will employment statutes grant employers the authority to terminate employment contracts without specifying a reason. Nevertheless, legal constraints apply, mandating that both employers and employees adhere to certain regulations. Termination motivated by unlawful factors such as retaliation or discrimination against an employee belonging to a protected class is explicitly forbidden.

In Massachusetts, employers typically possess the authority to dismiss employees for almost any reason, or even without providing a specific explanation, barring reasons safeguarded by legal provisions. In the state of Massachusetts, employees are safeguarded against termination based on:

  • Exposing an unlawful activity (commonly known as “whistleblowing”)
  • Lodging a worker’s compensation claim against the employer
  • Facing repercussions for participating in other legally-protected activities, such as taking leave under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
  • Being age 40 or older
  • Gender-related considerations
  • Sexual orientation-based factors
  • Considerations related to gender identity
  • Pregnancy or the potential to become pregnant
  • Race-related circumstances
  • National origin or ancestry-related factors
  • Experiencing a physical or mental disability
  • Matters concerning religious beliefs
