Understanding Religious Discrimination
Religious liberty includes recognized faiths like Judaism, Christianity, or Islam, and deeply held personal beliefs. Federal and state laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) and The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD), prohibit religious discrimination, which occurs when employees face unfair treatment due to their religious beliefs or associations.
Identifying Religious Discrimination at Work
Religious discrimination usually appears as disparate treatment or failure to provide reasonable accommodations. Disparate treatment involves employment decisions influenced by religion or workplace harassment based on religious beliefs. Reasonable accommodation discrimination happens when employers do not allow religious practices, like daily prayers or observances, unless it causes undue hardship.
Protection Against Religious Harassment
Employees are protected from workplace harassment due to their religious beliefs, including derogatory remarks or attempts at proselytization that hinder job performance.
Compensation for Religious Discrimination
Victims of workplace discrimination or harassment due to religious beliefs may seek damages for back wages, front pay, lost benefits, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and legal fees. Equitable remedies, such as reinstatement, are also available.
