Certain employment laws limit under what circumstances an employee may be lawfully terminated. The Civil Rights Act of 1964, for example, outlawed discrimination based upon race, gender, religion, or national origin. In 1967, Congress passed the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) to protect employees age 40 years or over from suffering unfair disadvantages and stereotypes. Decades later, in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed to ensure that qualified employees with disabilities are provided with equal opportunities to participate in the workforce. Under M.G.L. c. 151B, Massachusetts has enacted similar laws outlawing employment discrimination based on race, gender, religion, or national origin, age, handicap, and sexual orientation. Under both state and federal law, it is illegal to terminate an employee for reporting unlawful discrimination.
