IntroductionIf an employer does not engage in intentional religious discrimination, should the employer still be concerned about religious discrimination? An employer must be proactive in evaluating and implementing workplace policies, so that they do not have unintended negative impacts on an employee’s ability to exercise his or her religious beliefs. This level of proactivity also includes making accommodations for employees who need them. Religious accommodations must be reasonable and not cause undue hardship on the employer, however. The EEOC considers the following factors when determining whether or not an accommodation constitutes an undue hardship on an employer:The burden the accommodation places on the employer. The cost of the accommodation.Discrimination in the workplace can take many different forms. Some are obvious (for example, sex, race, or national origin). Other forms of discrimination are less obvious (for example, age, pregnancy, language, sexual preference, or disability).
