DREADLOCKS ARE NOT A REASON FOR YOUR EMPLOYER TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST YOU

Religious discrimination at work occurs when your employer takes some type of adverse action – firing, demoting, not providing you with benefits – against you because of your religious beliefs. Security guards in a recent case claimed to be the victims of religious discrimination by their employer when the employer repeatedly suspended the employees because they had dreadlocks. The guards are Rastafarian, and Rastafarian beliefs prohibit men from cutting their hair.

Your employer has a duty to reasonably accommodate your religious beliefs and practices. An experienced employment attorney will be able to help you determine whether your employer has made reasonable accommodations for your religious beliefs. Additionally, CA and federal law prohibit your employer from discriminating against you because of those beliefs and/or practices.

If you are a CA employee who believes you are or have been the victim of religious discrimination, call the knowledgeable employment attorneys at Law Offices of David H. Greenberg.
