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.
