Can I Be Discriminated Against Because of My Disability?

Disability Discrimination in the Workplace

Disability discrimination is illegal under Massachusetts law, protecting individuals with physical or mental impairments that limit major life activities. Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations—adjustments that enable disabled individuals to perform essential job functions.

Employees must provide documentation if requested, and employers must engage in an interactive dialogue to determine feasible accommodations. Employers may deny accommodations if they cause undue hardship or conflict with reasonable job standards.
