\"Team<\/p>\n

In The Golden State we have many great protections as employees and the new AB 1964<\/a> passed recently by Gov. Brown, provides even further reaching protection. The new rules are in addition to the standing California Fair Employment and Housing Act code 12926.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the laws included in the FEHA have been put in place specifically to protect anyone applying for housing or employment from any form of discrimination, these laws have been rather fluid as cases of clear discrimination present themselves in new forms then new protecting have been added, as in the case of AB 1964. The protections provided previously were extended on the following basis:<\/p>\n

-The person\u2019s marital status<\/p>\n

-The applicant\u2019s age
\n-The person\u2019s ethnicity or national origin
\n-Any mental condition, physical disabilities or medical conditions<\/p>\n

-The person\u2019s genetic information, such as predisposition for hereditary illness
\n-The applicant\u2019s sexual orientation, gender identification and gender expression<\/p>\n

In the addition of AB 1964 we are now given the protection of \u201creligious creed,\u201d which extends to the dress and grooming of any specific religious belief or heritage.<\/p>\n


\nHow will this affect you as an employee?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the most basic terms, as a worker in the State of California your employer can not force you to change your appearance as it pertains to your religion. You cannot be told to shave or cut any hair, or required to remove covering garments such as head scarves, if they are part of you religious belief and practice. The language includes the following, but is still rather broad:<\/p>\n

The wearing of or carrying on your person, any clothing item or symbol of your faith as require by that belief, such as the wearing of head covering or crucifix.<\/p>\n

Your particular grooming as defined by your religion or heritage, to include, facial head or body hair, tattoos, etc. However any employee must adhere to all safety guidelines as in the case of food handling machine operation.<\/p>\n

With the new codes your employer must allow, where safe, for you to observe you religion through dress and grooming, they are not however required to make accommodations for isolation from certain other groups, or provide you and isolated place to perform your duties.<\/p>\n
