Federal, State, and local laws prohibit any religious-based and national origin discrimination. In addition to being prohibited from discriminating against an individual as a result of his or her religion, employers are also required to provide reasonable accommodations for any religious practices. Under the law, religious beliefs and practices are very broadly defined and employers are required to make sure an employee’s sincere beliefs can be observed so long as it does not cause undue hardship for the employer’s business.
