the alleged unlawful practice occurred.” M.G.L. c. 151B, § 9. Because the alleged unlawful practice occurred in October, 2007, the plaintiff was required to file her wrongful termination claim in or before October, 2010. The Court will, therefore, dismiss plaintiffs claim for wrongful termination. 4. Breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing (Count III) The plaintiff next alleges that the defendant violated the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing implicit in contracts for employment at will. A claim for breach of an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing may be asserted only when an employer terminates an employee in order to deprive her of a previously earned benefit. See Harrison v. NetCentric Corp., 433 Mass. 465, 744 N.E.2d 622, 629 (2001) (<HOLDING>). An employee is deprived of a previously
holding employee not terminated in bad faith because no evidence suggested that employer discharged employee in order to retain em ployees previously earned sales commissions holding that an employer is accountable to a discharged employee for unpaid compensation if the employee was terminated in bad faith and the compensation is clearly connected to work already performed recognizing wrongful discharge claim where employer allegedly discharged employee for exercising right to receive workers compensation benefits holding that when an employee suffers an injury from an unexplained fall while the employee is on the job and performing the duties of his employment that injury is eligible for compensation under the workers compensation act holding that where employee gave notice to employer of injury and employer told employee that nothing could be done for him through workmans compensation employer had breached statute and was liable for medical treatment which was reasonable and necessary to restore employee to maximum usefulness
