Federal, state and local laws prohibit discrimination based upon race, color, religion, sex, disability, national origin, age, sexual orientation, or any other personal traits. Moreover, discrimination in the workplace goes against the American way of life, against the ideals of justice, fairness, and civil rights.

Actually, the employee's religious belief must be a part of a bona fide religion. And the employee must make it known to the employer that there is a conflict between job requirements and the employee's religious practices. As far as the employee is concerned, he or she must make an effort to work with the employer to find a reasonable accommodation to the religious belief, which does not cause the employer an undue hardship.
