Religious discrimination in the workplace is, unfortunately, a far more common issue than most people realize. Not only can it have a serious impact on a person’s ability to work, but it can also have consequences that reverberate into a victim’s personal life. But what is religious discrimination, and how can you deal with it if you experience it in the workplace?

What Are the Signs of Religious Discrimination?

People who belong to religious minority groups, including Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, and others, are protected against discrimination by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. However, not all signs of religious discrimination are necessarily obvious, and you should be on the lookout in case you or your coworkers are discriminated against. Here are just some signs of religious discrimination that you should watch for in your workplace:

Five Potential Signs of Religious Discrimination

As Steven Sack says in his book, Fired!, “The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits religious discrimination and requires employers to reasonably accommodate the religious practices of employees and prospective employees.” However, religious discrimination is a surprisingly common phenomenon in workplaces across the country, although many people do not realize it. Here are five ways employers may discriminate against employees on religious grounds:

Abercrombie and Fitch Faces Another Lawsuit Based on Religious Discrimination

Abercrombie and Fitch has been subjected to several lawsuits in the last few years based on the company’s appearance policy.  CEO Mike Jeffries was quoted in 2013 remarking that the company’s objective is to target “good looking people” which is why they “hire good looking people.”  The company has been accused of discrimination based on weight, physical disabilities, appearance, and religion.

    Our Reviews and Client Feedback

    Made availability the same day I reached out for an initial consultation given an urgent situation, very responsive and honest
    I wish I had found him earlier. He is absolutely excellent, honest, kind and respectful. He is a man of honor and integrity. He's doing this to truly help people, especially the vulnerable and underrepresented. When other lawyers only see dollar signs, he doesn't. He sees you as a person, and cares about you and your rights. Set up a consultation with him and you won't regret it.
    Response from the owner:Thank you for your review. Please keep us in mind for any future employment or labor issues you may have.
    Steven was incredibly responsive in my situation, providing deep expertise around employment law and negotiation tactics. Even during the after effects of a snowstorm, he rushed me his book and took numerous calls. He was generous with his time, fair and direct with his guidance, but still allowed for situational understanding and getting to know me. Even though I did not need to retain his full service beyond a consultation, he still let me fully maximize the time he agreed to share and gave me the confidence I needed to handle the situation despite a very complicated SaaS tech situation. I was happy to share back with him that, even though the odds were very slim, his support did end up leading to a slight improvement in my case which is of course better than nothing.

    If you're looking for someone who truly knows the law, how to negotiate, and will do his best to fight for you - even if that's telling you the cold truth about your chances and still giving you support anyway as you ask - you need to call Steven!

    There are very few employment lawyer specialists I have learned with many friends in law and there even fewer with his track record.
    Response from the owner:Thank you very much for your review. Please keep us in mind if you ever have any other employment law matters you need assistance with.
    Steven is simply phenomenal. From the moment I first tried to contact him through the consultation conclusion. I attempted reaching 5 other NYC-based employment attorneys and all others either didn't respond or had me bouncing between secretaries only to finally send me an intake form anyway. Steven not only responded immediately and in person, but was able to schedule me for a consultation the same day, which was critical given a deadline I had to meet. Our meeting took place punctually at the time scheduled, Steven helped me with my inquiry, explaining all the legal language and answering all my questions exhaustively. He was perfectly clear, thorough, respectful, honest, and patient. He generously sent me one of his bestselling books free of charge, and offered me a free 30 min follow-up consultation on account of our meeting not filling the hour (though it did run well over half hour and was the best price I could find anywhere to begin with). Simply outstanding. You will not easily find another attorney like this anywhere.
    Response from the owner:Happy to have been of assistance, Peter. If you ever need any future counsel on employment law matters, please feel free to contact us again.
    Steven is excellent. Helped me resolve an employment situation within a day. He was fast, punctual, honest, clear, respectful, kind, and patient with me. He answered my many questions and helped me carefully with the specifics. I felt very taken care of and confident in how I handled my work situation based off his advice which resulted in significantly more favorable terms than if I had done it on my own. I'd be more than happy to utilize his services again in the future. I appreciate the book as well, which I received right away despite being on the opposite coast - it's tremendous. I'm grateful to have been referred to him for what I needed. Thank you, Steven.
