Religious Discrimination
The Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and most state laws prohibit employers from
discriminating on the basis of religious beliefs. Government, schools and employers
cannot make decisions based an employee’ religious orientation.
Where workers request a desire to express their religious beliefs and practices in
the workplace, employers are generally required to accommodate them. Also, the law
generally accommodates a person’s ability to practice their religious beliefs when
it conflicts with an employer’s schedule. Religious garments can be disallowed
from the workplace if they endanger the employee, groups or employees or the
workplace.
