It is not legal under both Federal and State Law to discriminate in the "terms or conditions of work" on the principle of a person's religious sentiments or practices. The phrase "terms or conditions of work" applies to many facets of a person's job: interviewing, hiring, your position, pay, title, hours, vacation, reasonable accommodations to watch Sabbath or other religious days, and other details of employment.
According to Federal Law, employers must make reasonable accommodations of a person's religious principles or practices in the office, unless doing so would create an undue difficulty on the employer. Undue hardship is located when the accommodation is economically hard, or when accommodating the religious beliefs of one worker are arbitrary to other workers who don't have the same beliefs. Nevertheless most of the time accommodations don't create an unwarranted difficulty. Further, it is indecorous and many times illegal for your employer to make an inquiry about the specifics of your religious convictions, your availability for future holidays primarily based on religion, or to need a dress code that violates a person's religious beliefs 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 victimization based primarily on your religious sentiments, practices, absence of religious beliefs or practices, or your dress (like wearing a yarmulke at work) you could be the victim of religious discrimination. It is not legal for you to be handled differently than other employees who do not share your religion or principles. It is really important to contact a professional discrimination attorney to discuss your situation and the way in which the law could be able to help.
