Spiritual Discrimination in the Office isn't Just Wrong, It's Not Legal ...

It is not lawful under both Federal and State Law to discriminate in the ?terms or conditions of employment? on the supposition of a person?s religious sentiments or practices. The phrase ?terms or conditions of employment? applies to many facets of a person?s job: interviewing, hiring, your position, pay, title, hours, vacation, reasonable accommodations to see Sabbath or other religious days, and other details of work.

According to Fed. Law, bosses must make reasonable accommodations of a person?s religious convictions or practices in the office, unless doing so would create an unjustified difficulty on the employer. Unjustified trouble is located when the accommodation is economically hard, or when accommodating the religious convictions of one employee are biased to other staff who don't have the same beliefs. However , the majority of the time accommodations don't create an undue trouble. Further, it is inappropriate and many times illegal for your employer to make an inquiry about the specifics of your religious convictions, your availability for future vacations based primarily on religion, or to need a dress code that violates a person?s religious beliefs or practices.

Occasionally religious discrimination is made worse by national origin discrimination and racial discrimination. Many cultures have a state faith or a practice that is not Judeo-Christian based or reflected in main line American culture. It does not matter- these faiths are still covered. So whether someone is Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Shinto, Jain, Sikh or Bhuddist, they're all covered. Further, religious discrimination can also happen to atheists.

If you have received victimization primarily based on your religious sentiments, practices, absence of religious sentiments or practices, or your dress (like wearing a yarmulke at work) you may be the victim of religious discrimination. It is illegal for you to be dealt with differently than other employees who don't share your religion or convictions. It is important to contact a seasoned discrimination solicitor to discuss your situation and the way the law might be able to help.
