Fair Employment Project, Inc is a non-profit organization based in Jamaica Plain, MA, dedicated to providing information and support to Massachusetts workers facing employment discrimination. They emphasize the importance of consulting with an experienced employment attorney, as the laws and procedures governing discrimination claims are subject to regular changes and each case has its own unique circumstances. The organization aims to educate workers about their rights and the illegal nature of discrimination based on protected characteristics such as race, age, sex, pregnancy, national origin, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.
They advise individuals who believe they have been treated unfairly due to a protected characteristic to file a complaint with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD), the first step in pursuing a discrimination claim. Fair Employment Project, Inc provides guidance on how to initiate a discrimination case, including the importance of filing within the designated timeframe and the necessary documentation to support the complaint. They also explain the process of investigation and the possibility of a hearing at the MCAD, highlighting that only a small percentage of cases proceed to this stage.
