FAQ

Documentation of a Request for Religious Exemption We recommend that employers require employees who claim they have a sincerely held religious belief and request an accommodation, to submit the request in writing explaining the basis for the sincerely held religious belief.

Tempting as it might be to require documentation from a religious authority to verify that the employee is a practicing member, guidance from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) indicates that "because the definition of religion is broad and protects beliefs and practices with which the employer may be ...

My religious beliefs and practices, which result in this request for a religious accommodation, are sincerely held. I understand that the accommodation requested above may not be granted but that the company will attempt to provide a reasonable accommodation that does not create an undue hardship on the company.

A reasonable religious accommodation is any adjustment to the work environment that will allow an employee to practice their religious beliefs. This applies not only to schedule changes or leave for religious observances, but also to such things as dress or grooming practices that an employee has for religious reasons.

Note it is critical that your request outline your religious belief, not a personal belief, not an opinion, not a fear of a shot, or that you look better with a beard. It must be a sincerely held religious belief, and your request is your opportunity to express and explain that belief in clear terms.

Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibits multiple varieties of job discrimination, including religious discrimination, by all but small companies and nonprofits. However, Title VII includes an exemption for religious organizations so that they can consider religion when they select their staff.

Notify their supervisor or Human Resources to initiate the process. Fill out the Religious Accommodation Request Form and submit to Human Resources. Human Resources may ask the employee to provide additional information about the basis of the religious obligation or other belief-based practice.

Religious exemptions are a broad category of laws that create carveouts or exceptions to existing laws, such as nondiscrimination laws. In doing so, they create a license to discriminate.
