U.S. Supreme Court Sides With EEOC in Abercrombie Headscarf Case

June 10, 2015 | CDF Labor Law LLP Filed Under: Dress Code And Grooming

The U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in EEOC v. Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, reversing a Tenth Circuit win for the retailer in a religious discrimination case brought by a Muslim applicant who was denied employment due to her headscarf being a violation of Abercrombie’s dress policy – which prohibited caps of any kind.

Supreme Court Finds Employer’s Lack of “Actual Knowledge” of Need for Accommodation No Defense to Religious Discrimination Claim

June 5, 2015 | Ford Harrison Filed Under: Dress Code And Grooming

Executive Summary: The U.S. Supreme Court recently held that an employer cannot escape liability for religious discrimination under Title VII by arguing that it did not have actual knowledge of an individual’s need for a religious accommodation. Reversing the Tenth Circuit’s decision in favor of the employer, in EEOC v. Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc., the Court held that an employer “may not make an applicant’s religious practice, confirmed or otherwise, a factor in employment decisions.”

Employers are now faced with a new set of questions on how to ensure they do not run afoul of this decision.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has released two new technical assistance documents governing religious dress and grooming and Title VII compliance. The first document, Religious Garb and Grooming in the Workplace: Rights and Responsibilities, discusses the interplay between employment discrimination law and religious dress and grooming practices, and outlines steps employers can take to avoid Title VII violations. The second document is a fact sheet that distils the information in the first document to a one-page guide.
