MUSLIM DENIED EMPLOYMENT OVER HER DRESS
In California, your employer cannot discriminate against you because of your religion or creed. If your religion requires you to wear particular clothing to work, you need to discuss this with your boss. Additionally, it is up to your boss to make reasonable accommodations for your dress. So long as it does not interfere with your ability to perform your job, your dress code is your personal choice. Do not let your employer treat you adversely because of your religion.
When a female teenager interviewed for a job with a local clothing store, she had no idea her Muslim heritage would be an issue. The girl alleges that her interviewer told her that her head covering, or hijab, which her Muslim religion required her to wear, would not be allowed in the store. As a result, she decided to stand up for her right to practice her religion. She is suing the clothing store for religious discrimination.
