California Religious Discrimination And Workplace Rights Attorney

Two of the major pillars in most people’s lives are their professional life and their spiritual life. When your professional life suffers because of your religious beliefs and practices, that’s called religious discrimination. It’s against the law, and if you’re a target of it in your workplace, we’re here to fight for you

At Jay S. Rothman & Associates, our dedicated group of lawyers in California who fight religious discrimination. As your employment law attorneys, our team will hold your employer accountable for their violation of your rights. You do not have to stand by while your employer discriminates against you, not with our firm on your side.

We Fight Religious Discrimination In And Out Of Court

When you work with our religious discrimination attorneys, it’s our job to protect your rightful religious beliefs in the face of a hostile work environment. This means we will take your case as far as necessary in such instances as:

• Wrongful termination: If your employer fires you for your religious beliefs or practices, we will pursue them for compensation and potentially reinstatement.
• Discrimination: If your employer uses your religious practices as a reason to demote you or take away favorable assignments, we will fight for you.
• Harassment: If you face pranks, disruption or any other form of harassment because of your religion, we will help put an end to it.

It’s not always a straightforward discovery process to find out whether something is religious discrimination or not. Often employers use many other pretexts to avoid offering religious accommodations of any kind. But pretexts are often only barely hidden, barely excused. They can and often are discovered relatively quickly.

Undue Hardship

One of the defenses that employers tend to rely on is that accommodating a religious need is that it causes “undue hardship.” This defense means to say that accommodations of an extreme nature are simply beyond the ability of a company to meet. But the claim of undue hardship and the reality of the situation are often in conflict. We can help you make the case that this “hardship” is not quite so magnified as it is purported to be.
