Report Link EEOC Issues New Guidance on Religious Discrimination.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - October 03, 2008 In light of the ever-expanding number of religious discrimination complaints arising in workplaces across the country, the EEOC recently issued a new set of guidelines to assist employers in this area. The revised portion of its employment compliance manual provides an overview of religious discrimination law, and offers "best practices" for employers to avoid discrimination charges. Every employer should be familiar with this comprehensive publication, but don't worry if you don't have time to slog through 73 pages of material – we've done it for you. Report Link EEOC Issues New Compliance Assistance on Religious Discrimination.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - August 11, 2008 On July 22, 2008, "[i]n response to an increase in charges of religious discrimination, increased religious diversity in the United States, and requests for guidance from stakeholders and agency personnel investigating and litigating claims of religious discrimination," the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued a new Compliance Manual section regarding religious discrimination in the workplace. The new section does not reflect a drastic change in EEOC policies, but is more comprehensive and user-friendly than the prior version. The section covers five major legal topics: coverage issues, disparate treatment analysis, harassment analysis, reasonable accommodation analysis, and related forms of discrimination. Report Link Dealership Update: Religious Discrimination: Just How Different Is it?Fisher & Phillips, LLP - August 06, 2008 Many employers assume – incorrectly – that they can avoid all discrimination claims by simply treating everyone exactly the same and making no exceptions. While that approach will keep you out of most discrimination problems, it can still result in claims of religious discrimination. Here's why. Report Link EEOC Issues New Compliance Manual On Religious Discrimination.Barker Olmsted & Barnier - August 06, 2008 The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued a new Compliance Manual Section regarding workplace discrimination on the basis of religion (http://www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/religion.html) on July 22, 2008. Report Link Existing Shift Rotation and Swap Policy for Title VII Religious Accommodation May Be Insufficient.Jackson Lewis LLP - May 01, 2008 An employer's existing shift-rotation system and voluntary shift-swap policy alone may not constitute a reasonable accommodation for employees asserting they are unable to work on certain days due to their religious beliefs, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania has found in denying summary judgment for the employer under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. Report Link Court Rejects Terminated Worker's Religious Discrimination Suit.Ogletree Deakins - April 01, 2008 A federal appellate court recently affirmed the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on behalf of an employee who claimed that his employer discriminated against him because of his religion in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. According to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, the employer satisfied its obligation to reasonably accommodate the worker's religious beliefs. Report Link Fourth Circuit Finds Interests of Employer and Other Employees Not Trumped by Religious Accommodation.Jackson Lewis LLP - March 13, 2008 An employer is not required to completely accommodate an employee’s religious beliefs where it would create a significant negative impact on co-workers and the employer, a federal appeals court in Richmond has held. EEOC v. Firestone Fibers & Textiles Co., No. 06-2203 (4th Cir. Feb. 11, 2008). In affirming a lower court’s granting of summary judgment, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals found it appropriate to consider the impact on the employer and co-workers in determining whether an accommodation of an employee’s religion is reasonable. The Fourth Circuit has jurisdiction over Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. Report Link Accommodating the Faithful.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - March 05, 2008 A recent case from the Eleventh Circuit reminds us that navigating the minefield of religious accommodation issues can be difficult but manageable. Cynthia Morrissette-Brown is a Seventh-Day Adventist who claimed that her employer did not reasonably accommodate her "deep religious convictions" which prevented her from working Friday or Saturday shifts. The employer ultimately prevailed by showing that it had a neutral rotating shift system and that it provided Ms. Morrissette-Brown the opportunity to swap shifts with her co-workers. Morrissette-Brown v. Mobile Infirmary Medical Center.
