Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Massachusetts Fair Employment Practices Act (M.G.L. c. 151B), it is unlawful to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of his or her membership in a protected group.

The easiest way to prove unlawful discrimination is through the use of direct evidence. Direct evidence is the kind that, if believed, requires a conclusion that unlawful discrimination motivated the employer's decision. Direct evidence requires no inference or presumption.
The employee must first present evidence that he is a member of a protected class, he was qualified for the position he held, he suffered an adverse employment action such as being fired, and that he was replaced with another worker who is not a member of that protected class.
