Religious
Discrimination
Under federal law, known as Title VII (or Title 7), intentional discrimination is against the
law. Similarly, employer conduct, practice, or policy which have the effect of discriminating
against individuals -- because of religion -- violates the law.
Tolerance for religious differences has been one of the most difficult journeys of human beings.
To this day, wars, battles, and discord reign over religious differences and preferences.
It is no wonder, then, that while we have advanced as a society to one that promotes and
celebrates diversity and inclusion, deep-rooted hostility or disdain for others' religious
affiliations still exist.
Under federal law, an employer is required to reasonably accommodate the religious belief of an
employee or prospective employee, unless doing so would impose an undue hardship.
There are several variations on what may cause an undue hardship versus what is a reasonable
accommodation, and these matters are very fact-dependent.
Contact us if you have suffered job discrimination by your current or
former employer because of your religion. The consultation is free and confidential. We work
