In California, the law protects the religious beliefs of employees. This means, if your religious practice requires that you do not shave your 1 inch beard, as did the beliefs of a Rastafarian UPS employee, your employer must accommodate your reasonable religious practices. The Rastafarian was denied a job because of his beard and was awarded $10,000 because the court determined he was the victim of religious discrimination at the hands of UPS.

CA labor law protects employees against many types of discrimination, including religious discrimination. Because your practice a certain religion, or because your religious practice requires that your employer make small exceptions for you in the workplace, you cannot be hired, fired, demoted, or not promoted.
