What is Religious Discrimination?
Religious discrimination is prohibited under 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 is treated unfairly due to their religious beliefs or personal ethical convictions. This includes all faiths and individuals with non-religious beliefs.
Identifying Religious Discrimination in the Workplace
Religious discrimination can take two main forms:
- Disparate treatment: Employment decisions influenced by religion or religious harassment.
- Failure to accommodate: Employers not providing reasonable accommodations for religious practices, such as time off for prayer or religious holidays.
Employers must provide reasonable accommodations unless it causes undue hardship. If your employer fails to do so, it may be a violation of your rights.
Employee Protections Against Religious Harassment
Harassment based on religion can include offensive remarks or unwanted proselytizing. If such harassment disrupts your ability to perform your job, it may be legally actionable.
Damages You May Be Entitled To
If you’ve been discriminated against or harassed due to your religion, you could be entitled to compensation for:
- Back pay, front pay, and lost benefits
- Bonuses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and legal fees
