    Product Description

    In Representing Clients Before the MCAD in Employment Cases management-side employment attorneys provide practical, comprehensive guidance to attorneys involved in employment cases before the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD), taking the practitioner from his or her first interview with the client all the way through appeal and enforcement of the MCAD's decision. Each stage in the process—and each important decision that counsel must make along the way—is discussed in detail, with extensive attention to the practical decisions that attorneys must make in order to effectively represent their clients.

      Dear Subscriber,

      Thank you for updating your library with the 2024 edition of Representing Clients Before the MCAD in Employment Cases . 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

      • a note on pending legislation that would expand the level of pay transparency currently mandated by the Massachusetts Equal Pay Act;
      • a U.S. Supreme Court case addressing "undue hardship" in the religious accommodation context, finding that an accommodation would constitute an undue hardship if it resulted in "substantial increased costs in relation to the conduct of [the] particular business," taking into consideration the nature, size, and operating cost of the employer;
      • a retaliation case based on the employer's attempt to use debt collection to coerce a former employee into dropping a claim of discrimination;
      • a Supreme Judicial Court discussion of how managers' actions and remarks may support a complaint of discrimination in the workplace;
      • an Appeals Court finding that an employee's complaint failed to provide the respondent with fair notice of a claim of racially motivated discrimination;
      • circumstances under which equitable tolling principles might apply to extend an MCAD filing deadline;
      • an updated EEOC charge-of-discrimination form;
      • additional and updated citations to the MCAD procedural regulations; and
      • updated references to useful Internet resources.

      We trust that you will find this latest version of Representing Clients Before the MCAD in Employment Cases an invaluable resource for your busy practice.

      Cordially,

      MCLE Press
