What Is Religious Discrimination?
Religious discrimination is prohibited under:
- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)
- The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD)
Religious discrimination occurs when an employer makes employment decisions or treats an employee differently because of their religion, religious practices, sincerely held beliefs, or ethical convictions. These laws protect individuals of all faiths, minority religions, and those with sincerely held nonreligious ethical beliefs recognized under the law.
Common Forms of Religious Discrimination
Religious discrimination can occur in several ways, including:
- Disparate Treatment: Refusing to hire, promoting less qualified employees, disciplining workers unfairly, terminating employment, or otherwise making employment decisions based on religion.
- Failure to Provide Reasonable Accommodations: Employers must reasonably accommodate religious practices, such as schedule changes for religious observances, prayer breaks, or dress and grooming requirements, unless doing so would create an undue hardship.
- Religious Harassment: Offensive comments, ridicule, intimidation, unwanted discussions about religion, or pressure to adopt or abandon religious beliefs may constitute unlawful harassment when the conduct creates a hostile work environment.
