Report Link Crossed: When Religion and Dress Code Policies Intersect.Helms Mulliss & Wicker - February 19, 2008 Visible tattoos. Headscarves. Body piercings. What do these things have in common? They are the latest battleground for employers in cases of employment discrimination.
It is commonly accepted that companies have the right to adopt personal appearance and dress code policies for their workforce, within limits. Reasons for such policies include conveying a certain image to customers or clients, portraying a professional or business-like appearance, and enforcing safety standards. However, in developing and assessing violations to these policies, employers must increasingly be mindful of potential claims of religious discrimination. Report Link Accommodating a Muslim Woman's Right to Wear a Headscarf at Work: Recent Court Decisions.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - September 18, 2007 In recent years, following the events of September 11, 2001, the EEOC and private attorneys have filed lawsuits on behalf of Muslim women who claim they were discriminated against by their employers for wearing a hijab, or headscarf, to work. Three recent decisions provide insight on the attitude of juries and judges towards these claims. Report Link When Body Art and Religion Come to Work.Fredrikson & Byron, P.A. - April 20, 2006 No doubt you have seen them. Wait staff, bank tellers, cashiers, retail employees, perhaps even your own family members, donning the latest in body art. They have pierced part of their face or neck, undergone "hole stretching" to create a large hole in the lobe of their ear, or had an image tattooed onto their body. Body art has been on the rise for some time and the trend shows no sign of changing course. Report Link Court Upholds Retailer's Dress Code Despite Employee's Body Piercing Beliefs.Jackson Lewis LLP - December 20, 2004 A retailer had no duty to accommodate its sales employee's religious beliefs by exempting her from the company's dress code prohibiting all facial jewelry other than earrings, because to do so would impose an undue hardship on the employer, the U.S. Court of Appeals in Boston has held.
