What is Religious Discrimination?
Religious discrimination is prohibited under both federal and state laws, including:
- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)
- The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD)
Religious discrimination occurs when an employee faces unfair treatment based on their religious beliefs or sincerely held personal beliefs. This applies to individuals of all faiths and those with non-religious ethical beliefs.
Identifying Religious Discrimination in the Workplace
Religious discrimination typically manifests in two ways:
- Disparate treatment: When employment decisions are influenced by an employee’s religion or when religious harassment occurs in the workplace.
- Failure to provide reasonable accommodation: When employers refuse to accommodate an employee’s religious practices, such as time for prayer or religious holidays. Employers are only required to provide reasonable accommodations unless it would cause undue hardship.
Whether it involves specific policies, supervisor or coworker behavior, or denial of accommodations, religious discrimination is illegal, and you have legal recourse.
Employee Protections Against Religious Harassment
Harassment based on religion can include offensive remarks or efforts to convert an employee. If such harassment negatively impacts job performance, it may violate the law.
Damages You May Be Entitled To
If you’ve been discriminated or harassed due to your religion, you could be entitled to compensation for:
- Back pay, front pay, and lost benefits (including health or retirement plans)
- Bonuses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and legal fees
- Equitable remedies, such as reinstatement if you were terminated
