Massachusetts Employment Discrimination Guidelines

WE'RE HIRING!

Massachusetts State Law Prohibits Employment Discrimination based on:

RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, SEX, DISABILITY *, AGE*, GENETIC INFORMATION, MARITAL STATUS, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, MILITARY SERVICE, ARREST RECORD*, GENDER IDENTITY * * DISABILITY: physical or mental. Qualified handicappedpersonsareentitledtoreasonableaccommodations, unless that accommodation presents an undue hardship to the employer. AGE: (40 and older) Federal law and Massachusetts law both prohibit employers from discriminating against their employees who are 40+ years old based on their age. ARREST RECORD: It is illegal for an employer to ask certain questions about a job applicant's or employee's criminal record. The CORI Reform Act prevents employers from seeking disclosure of job applicants' criminal record information prior to the interview stage of the hiring process. GENDER IDENTITY: It is illegal for an employer to publish a job advertisement that shows a preference for or discourages someone from applying for a job because of his/her race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. Also, Discrimination Laws refer to Art in Employment ads as well as copy ie: no white male under the age of 40 can be depicted in an employment ad all by himself.

DAXTER Aroooo! Meet Daxter! Daxter is a super social, 7-year-old treeing Walker coonhound who loves people more than anything. He arrived at Berkshire Humane Society with his siblings, Lexy Bell and Lincoln when their owner was sadly forced to give them up. As with most hounds, Daxter likes to sing the song of his people, as well as take in all the good “smells” around him while out on a jaunt. He walks well on his easy-walk harness and is completely housetrained. Daxter would make a great hiking and walking buddy to keep him active, and he thoroughly loves the company of other dogs. He would do well with children aged 10 years and older, but no feline friends, as he has a prey drive. The staﬀ describe him as a lovable goof, who’d make a great companion for someone looking for an all-around good boy! Interested in learning more about this handsome gent? Please reach out to the Berkshire Humane Society Kennel staﬀ to learn more.

WE WERE DELIGHTED with our experience with your company, and we will not hesitate to be in contact with you for additional projects should the need arise. Without reservation, we also recommend your company for anyone considering a home improvement project.

We have lived in the Berkshires for nearly 40 years. I wish that THINGS WORKED SO SEAMLESSLY with every contractor in the area with whom we have dealt.

The crew of people that were part of the process were PROFESSIONAL, TALENTED, SKILLED, RESPONSIVE, AND JUST PLAIN NICE. We would recommend Morrisons to anyone. Thanks!

SEPTEMBER 2023

Morrison’s has done an INCREDIBLE JOB renovating our almost 30-year-old kitchen. We have been so pleased with the results.

JUNE 2023

Morrison’s did a BEAUTIFUL JOB and we were happy to have them in our area. I would deﬁnitely use them again.

Our house suﬀered a huge amount of damage as the result of a burst pipe and essentially had to be gutted and restored. Without the team at Morrison’s, I’m not sure if this project would have ever been complete - and certainly not at such a HIGH-QUALITY LEVEL. Thank you for giving us our home back and making it possible for us to continue on with our lives.
