Attorneys For Religious Discrimination At Work
Being the victim of discrimination in the workplace can make you feel small and powerless. It can be especially frustrating if your employer doesn’t seem to take your complaint seriously and refuses to do anything about the discrimination you have suffered.
In California, you can take solace in the fact that our state has strict laws against it. Our state laws include clearer and broader protections of religious belief and observance than federal law, making it easier to prove employer liability for discriminatory actions or policies, thanks to the California Workplace Religious Freedom Act of 2012.

¿Does Religious Discrimination Fall Under Employment Discrimination?
It is considered discrimination if an individual is given different treatment than other similarly qualified individuals based purely on their:
-
Sex/Gender
-
Race
-
Age (if 40 or older)
-
Religion
-
Disability
-
Sexual (Orientation)
-
National Origin

For the purposes of employment discrimination, “different treatment” can involve any decisions relating to the terms and conditions of employment. Common examples include:
-
Hiring and Firing
-
Promotion and Demotion
-
Allocating Raises and Benefits
-
Assigning Work and Projects
-
Negotiating Leaves of Absence
It is important to remember that employment discrimination isn’t always the result of overt prejudice against a particular group. Seemingly neutral policies can also be considered discriminatory if they have an adverse impact on members of a particular group.
