Legal Question in Disability Law in Massachusetts
# of employees for employer coverage under Mass. ADA
I need to know whether my employer is covered under Massachusetts employment disability discrimination law. There are 7 employees total. I know the federal ADA has a 25 employee threshold and some states have lower thresholds. What is it in Mass.? Thank you!

Re: # of employees for employer coverage under Mass. ADA
Any employer with more than 5 employees is subject to MA discrimination law, Chapter 151B
Re: # of employees for employer coverage under Mass. ADA
The Massachusetts employment discrimination
statute, M.G.L. c 151B, applies to private and
public employers with 6 or more employees.
You should be aware that, like most claims under
the state discrimination statute, you must file a
complaint with the Massachusetts Commission
Against Discrimination usually within six months
from the date of the discriminatory action.
