Churches, synagogues, private clubs, and specific private organizations are exempt due to their adherence to membership requirements.

One such exception is in Section 2000e-1 of the United States Code. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Examples of some common religious accommodations include flexible scheduling, voluntary shift substitutions or swaps, job reassignments, and modifications to workplace policies or practices.

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.

HB 396 addresses religious expression in the workplace for all Utah employers subject to the Utah Antidiscrimination Act. The law took effect on May 1, 2024.The Utah Antidiscrimination Act has been amended to expand religious accommodation requirements for employers under Utah law. This document addresses how Title VII applies to the religious dress and grooming practices of applicants and employees. The religious exemptions on the federal level only pertain to companies with 15 or more employees. Title VII prohibits federal agencies from discriminating against employees or applicants for employment because of their religious beliefs. Religious organizations nonetheless retain applicable Title VII exemptions regarding employment practices (42 U.S.C. 2000e1). The company should be exempt from Title VII's prohibition on employment discrimination. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it so employers and businesses cannot use their employees' religious beliefs against them. Federal regulations that forbid discriminatory practices based on religion might be clarified and expanded in Utah under a new bill.
