It provides that a religious corporation, association, educational institution, or society is exempt from the provisions of Title VII that prohibit discrimination based on religion in the workplace.
1 Title VII and the ADA apply to employers (including employment agencies and unions) with 15 or more employees, and to federal, state, and local governments.
Employers of five or more are subject to the FEHA's prohibition against employment discrimination. Harassment is prohibited in all workplaces, even those with only one employee or independent contractor on staff. “Employer” does not include the federal government or a non-profit religious association or corporation.
However, Title VII includes an exception for defined "religious organizations" and "religious educational institutions." Under the exception, religious organizations are permitted to give employment preference to adherents of the same religion.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects employees and job applicants from discrimination based on religion. Title VII also requires employers to reasonably accommodate the religious practices of an employee or prospective employee, unless doing so would create an “undue hardship” on the employer.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act does not cover federal employees or independent contractors. However, federal employees are protected against discrimination by other federal anti-discrimination laws.
Examples of some common religious accommodations include flexible scheduling, voluntary shift substitutions or swaps, job reassignments, and modifications to workplace policies or practices.
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.
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.
Common examples include: Schedule changes: Scheduling around religious observances and providing flexible work and break schedules to accommodate religious obligations such as daily prayers or Sabbath observance.
