Legal Rights & Religious Practices in the Workplace: What You Need to Know
When a worker receives adverse treatment because of their religious convictions or practices, this is known as religious discrimination. This can show itself as prejudice in job assignments, hiring, firing, promotions, or any other term or condition of employment, among other signs. In the United States, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the fundamental legislation that protects employees against religious discrimination.
