What Is Religious Discrimination?
Religious discrimination covers unfair treatment based on traditional religions like Judaism, Christianity, or Islam, as well as personal or ethical beliefs. Federal and state laws prohibit this, including:
- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)
- The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD)
Discrimination occurs when employers treat employees unfairly because of their religion or their associations.
Recognizing Religious Discrimination at Work
It appears mainly as either disparate treatment or refusal to provide reasonable accommodations. Disparate treatment includes biased hiring, firing, promotions, or harassment based on religion. Employers must also reasonably accommodate religious practices, like prayer breaks or holidays, unless it causes undue hardship.
Whether it’s discriminatory policies, harassment, or denied accommodations, you have strong legal protections.
Protection Against Religious Harassment
Workplace harassment related to religion—such as offensive comments or forced proselytizing that affect your job—is prohibited.
Compensation Available
If you suffered religious discrimination or harassment, you may recover back pay, future wages, lost benefits, bonuses, emotional distress damages, and attorneys’ fees. Equitable remedies like reinstatement are also possible if you were wrongfully terminated.
