What does religious discrimination in the workplace look like?

Although job-related religious discrimination remains a big problem, most people know little about it. If you ask someone suffering from religious mistreatment to describe it, they will likely have trouble spelling it out for you.

All forms of workplace discrimination are sometimes hard to define, including religious discrimination. Often, the employee feels that something isn’t right, but they just have trouble figuring out what is wrong.

These examples may help you identify discrimination

If your boss or co-worker teases you or makes jokes about your religion, it is discrimination. Even though they may mean no harm, you do not have to tolerate teasing and joking about your faith or religious practices. Other common examples of religious discrimination in the workplace include:

  • Demanding that you shave or cut your hair
  • Forbidding contact with customers or clients
  • Trying to recruit you over to their beliefs
  • Firing you or refusing to hire you solely because of your faith
  • Making it harder to get a raise or promotion due to your religion
  • Refusing a requested day off for religious purposes

Some of these examples affect people of specific faiths more than others. Some can affect anyone.

If your job situation routinely subjects you to issues like those above, you are likely a victim of religious discrimination. In the U.S., you do not need to tolerate such mistreatment. You can seek a solution for your discrimination without fear of losing your job or suffering additional unfairness.

Learning more about religious workplace discrimination in California can help you understand your circumstances even more. It can also point you in the proper direction when you want to end your unpleasant on-the-job treatment permanently.
