EMPLOYER DISCRIMINATED AGAINST YOU BASED ON YOUR RELIGION? YOU MAY HAVE AN EMPLOYMENT SUIT – CALL SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA ATTORNEYS

It is illegal under both California and Federal law for an employer to discriminate against an employee in relation to the “terms & conditions of employment based on their religion” The legal definition of “terms & conditions” include things like the hiring, firing, promoting, and compensation of employees. If your employer has forced to violate your religious beliefs in order to retain your job, know that this is illegal. Recently, a woman received a settlement in relation to her religious discrimination suit. She was not hired by Washington’s transit agency because she would not wear pants. Her Apostolic Pentecostal faith did not allow her to wear the pants that were a party of the position’s uniform.

If you have been forced to violate your religious beliefs at work, you may have an employment claim. Call Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-ALAWPRO or 1-800-252-9776 for a free consultation. You can also visit us at www.discriminationattorney.com to learn more. We are here to help you!
