SOMALI-AMERICAN MUSLIMS WIN RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION SUIT. CALL LOS ANGELES EMPLOYMENT LAW FIRM.
In California, it does not matter what religion you practice --- your employer cannot use your religious beliefs as a reason to discriminate against you. As the CA FEHA states, it is “an unlawful employment practice, unless based upon a bona fide occupational qualification, or, except where based upon applicable security regulations established by the United States or the State of California” for an employer to discriminate against you because of your religion.
When several Muslim employees sued their employer for discriminating against them because they requested time off to pray during the day, they discovered that the law protects their religious practices. Their employer was required to give them paid time off to pray during their workday. They also received money for damages for the discrimination they received.
