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 because of their religious beliefs or sincerely held personal beliefs. This applies to all faiths as well as non-religious ethical convictions.
Identifying Religious Discrimination in the Workplace
Religious discrimination usually occurs in two ways:
- Disparate treatment: Employment decisions are influenced by religion, or an employee experiences harassment due to religious beliefs.
- Failure to provide reasonable accommodation: Employers refuse to accommodate religious practices, such as time for prayer or observing religious holidays. Employers are only exempt if providing accommodation causes undue hardship.
Whether through workplace policies, supervisor or coworker actions, or denial of accommodations, religious discrimination violates the law and gives you legal options.
Employee Protections Against Religious Harassment
Religious harassment can include offensive remarks, jokes, or attempts to convert an employee. If harassment affects your job performance, it may constitute illegal discrimination.
Damages You May Be Entitled To
If you experience religious discrimination, you may be eligible for compensation, including:
- Back pay, front pay, and lost benefits, including health and retirement plans
- Bonuses, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and legal fees
- Equitable remedies such as reinstatement if you were terminated
