Recent updates:
- Update: April 2024
  Dear Subscriber:
  
  Thank you for updating your library with the 2024 edition of Employment Discrimination in Massachusetts . This latest version brings updated resources within your immediate reach—for fast, accurate, and practical answers to your questions.
  
  Highlights from the many issues addressed in this edition include
  - recent case law clarifying the burdens of proof and production applicable in employment discrimination cases;
  - enactment of the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act, making predispute mandatory arbitration provisions unenforceable in sexual assault and sexual harassment cases arising after March 3, 2022;
  - a discussion of employer practices and motives at issue in age discrimination cases;
  - recent cases addressing religious discrimination claims and what constitutes an "undue hardship" for an employer presented with a request for religious accommodation;
  - recent examples of "sex plus" discrimination cases involving a combination of gender discrimination and some other factor, such as age or children;
  - enactment of the Speak Out Act, which invalidated predispute nondisclosure and nondisparagement clauses relating to allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment;
  - the scope of the definition of disability for purposes of G.L. c. 151B;
  - distinctions between the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and G.L. c. 151B on the law governing the reassignment of disabled employees;
  - circumstances under which an employer may be liable for sexual harassment by its employees; and
  - enactment of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act in 2023 (accommodation for pregnancy-related limitations that would not qualify as a "disability" for purposes of the ADA) and the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers (PUMP) Act in 2022.
  We trust that you will find this latest version of Employment Discrimination in Massachusetts an invaluable resource for your busy practice.
