Understanding Religious Discrimination:
Religious discrimination occurs when an employer treats you unfairly because of your religious beliefs or practices. This includes beliefs tied to recognized faiths such as Judaism, Christianity, or Islam, as well as personal ethical or moral convictions.
Under federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, employers are prohibited from discriminating against employees based on religion.
Types of Religious Discrimination:
- Disparate Treatment: This happens when an employee is treated differently due to their religion or when religious-based harassment occurs.
- Failure to Provide Reasonable Accommodation: Employers must accommodate employees’ religious practices, such as prayer time, unless it would cause undue hardship for the company.
Employees are also protected from harassment related to their religion, which can include offensive remarks or attempts at religious conversion during work hours.
Compensation for Religious Discrimination:
If you’ve faced discrimination or harassment due to your religious beliefs, you may be entitled to compensation, including:
- Back wages
- Lost benefits
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Attorney fees
You may also be eligible for equitable remedies, such as reinstatement to your job.
