What Constitutes Religious Discrimination?
Religious liberty includes recognized faiths like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as deeply held personal beliefs. Religious discrimination is prohibited by federal and state laws, including:
- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)
- The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD)
Discrimination occurs when employees face unfair treatment from employers because of their own or their associates’ religious beliefs.
Identifying Religious Discrimination in the Workplace
Religious discrimination often appears in two main forms: disparate treatment and failure to accommodate religious practices.
- Disparate Treatment: Employment decisions are influenced by an employee’s religion, or harassment occurs based on religious beliefs.
- Failure to Provide Reasonable Accommodations: Employers do not allow necessary adjustments for religious practices, such as time for prayers or observances. However, accommodations that impose undue hardship are not required.
Whether related to workplace policies, supervisor conduct, or denial of accommodations, you have strong legal protections against religious discrimination.
Protection Against Religious Harassment
Employees are protected from harassment related to their religious beliefs. This includes derogatory comments about religion or coercive proselytization that negatively affects job performance.
Potential Compensation for Discrimination
If you have faced workplace discrimination or harassment due to your religious beliefs, you may be entitled to compensation, including:
- Back wages
- Front pay
- Lost benefits (health, retirement, etc.)
- Bonus payments
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Attorneys’ fees and court costs
You may also seek equitable remedies such as reinstatement if you were terminated.
