Spiritual Discrimination at work is Not Just Wrong, It's Against the Law

By Shara Kleinerman


It is not lawful under both Fed. and State Law to discriminate in the "terms or conditions of employment" on the supposition of a person's religious convictions or practices. The phrase "terms or conditions of employment" pertains to many sides of a person's job: interviewing, hiring, your position, pay, title, hours, holiday, reasonable accommodations to see Sabbath or other religious days, and other provisions of work.



According to Federal Law, employers must make reasonable accommodations of a person's religious principles or practices in the office, unless doing so would create an undue difficulty on the employer. Undue hardship is located when the accommodation is economically hard, or when accommodating the religious beliefs of one worker are arbitrary to other workers who don't have the same beliefs. Nevertheless most of the time accommodations don't create an unwarranted difficulty. Further, it is indecorous and many times illegal for your employer to make an inquiry about the specifics of your religious convictions, your availability for future holidays primarily based on religion, or to need a dress code that violates a person's religious beliefs or practices.

Often religious discrimination is compounded by nationwide origin discrimination and racial discrimination. Many cultures have a state faith or a practice that is not Judeo-Christian based or mirrored in mainstream American culture. It doesn't matter- these faiths are still covered. So whether an individual is Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Shinto, Jain, Sikh or Bhuddist, they're all covered. Further, religious discrimination can also happen to non-believers.

If you have received persecution primarily based on your religious beliefs, practices, shortage of religious principles or practices, or your dress (like wearing a yarmulke at work) you could be the victim of religious discrimination. It is unlawful for you to be dealt with differently than other staff who do not share your religion or beliefs. It's vital to contact a seasoned discrimination solicitor to chat about your current position and how the law may be able to help.
