Where is the line of separation in church and state? Just what are your rights when it comes to expressing your religious views at work? If you work in California you have new protections when it comes to the observance of your religious creed. So just what does that mean?<\/p>\n
The state recently voted in labor code AB1964 which adds to and strengthens the laws already laid out in the existing California Fair Employment and Housing Act code 12926.
\nThe standing FEHA codes protect employees and applicants in the following categories:<\/p>\n
-Their marital status
\n-Their age
\n-Their ethnicity or national origin
\n-Their mental condition, physical disabilities or medical conditions
\n-Their genetic information, such as predisposition for hereditary illness
\n-Their sexual orientation, gender identification and gender expression<\/p>\n
AB 1964 adds to this list protection for the observance of ones religion through dress and grooming.<\/p>\n
What does this mean for YOU?
\nSimply put, you can not be told not to wear any clothing at work that is included in your religious belief, or to change your grooming practices. In other words, you can not be required to shave or remove a headscarf, facial veil or specific jewelry, etc., when it is included in the observance of your faith.<\/p>\n
The guidelines are rather broad so the door is open for some interpretation, but there is one clear limitation and that is that you cannot demand to be separated or isolated from others for reason of religion, and you must be able to perform the duties of the job you have or are applying for regardless of dress and grooming. All safety regulations must also be observed as far as hygiene and clothing.
\nShould you face discrimination based on your religion or any other reason, you need an advocate with the knowledge and experience to back you up. United Employees Law Group has more than 35 years experience.\u00a0 Let us help you TODAY.<\/p>\n
