Religious Discrimination: What You Need to Know
Religious discrimination includes unfair treatment due to recognized faiths like Judaism, Christianity, Islam, or deeply held ethical or personal beliefs. This discrimination is illegal under federal and state laws, such as:
- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)
- The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD)
Identifying Religious Discrimination at Work
Religious discrimination can appear as disparate treatment or failure to provide reasonable accommodations.
- Disparate Treatment: Employment decisions influenced by religion or workplace harassment based on religious beliefs.
- Reasonable Accommodation: Employers failing to accommodate religious practices, such as prayer times or religious observances, unless it causes undue hardship.
Protection Against Religious Harassment
Employees are protected from harassment due to their religious beliefs, including derogatory remarks or attempts at proselytization that affect job performance.
Compensation for Religious Discrimination
Victims of religious discrimination may seek compensation for back wages, front pay, lost benefits, bonuses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and legal fees. Equitable remedies, like reinstatement after wrongful termination, may also be available.
