It is illegal under both Fed. and State Law to discriminate in the “terms or conditions of employment” on the basis of a person’s religious beliefs or practices. The phrase “terms or conditions of employment” relates to many aspects of a person’s job: interviewing, hiring, your position, pay, title, hours, holiday, reasonable accommodations to observe Sabbath or other religious days, and other terms of work.

According to Fed. Law, companies must make reasonable accommodations of a person’s religious convictions or practices in the workplace, unless doing so would create an unwarranted hardship on the employer. Unwarranted trouble is found when the accommodation is economically hard, or when accommodating the religious convictions of one employee are unfair to other staff who do not have the same principles. But the majority of the time accommodations do not create an unjustified trouble. Further, it is inappropriate and many times illegal for your employer to inquire about the specifics of your religious sentiments, your availability for future vacations based on faith, or to want a dress code that violates a person’s religious sentiments or practices.

Occasionally religious discrimination is exacerbated by national origin discrimination and racial discrimination. Many cultures have a nationwide faith or a practice that isn't Judeo-Christian based or mirrored in conventional American culture. It doesn't matter- these faiths are still covered. So whether someone is Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Shinto, Jain, Sikh or Bhuddist, they're all covered. Further, religious discrimination can also happen to non-believers.

If you have received harassment based on your religious principles, practices, lack of religious sentiments or practices, or your dress (such as wearing a yarmulke at work) you may be the victim of religious discrimination. It is illegal for you to be treated differently than other workers who don't share your faith or convictions. It is important to contact an experienced discrimination lawyer to talk about your present position and the way the law might be able to help.
