Encountering Religion in the Workplace
- Synopsis
-
Gregory, the author of other books on workplace issues, examines court cases arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the First Amendment related to workplace religious disputes. Focusing on the limitations of practicing beliefs at work, he uses cases that illustrate different aspects of religious employment disputes and provides case summaries, so that general readers can better make decisions about work situations, as well as aiding lawyers who do not specialize in employment law. He addresses legal definitions of religion and details cases related to discrimination at various stages of the employment relationship, claims arising out of employment termination, proselytization, employer liability for religious harassment, discrimination experienced by specific groups, public sector issues, exemptions for religious organizations and ministers, accommodation, and retaliation and other issues.
