Discrimination and Harassment Based on Religion

Discrimination and harassment in the workplace involving religious beliefs is illegal, and aggrieved employees may have a claim for financial compensation. Have you been harassed by superiors or co-workers at work regarding religious beliefs? We can help.

At the Long Beach and Los Angeles, California, employment law and religious discrimination firm of Lyon Law, we have successfully helped hundreds of people fight for and win financial compensation for workplace discrimination and harassment.

Attorney Geoff Lyon has negotiated, litigated and mediated employment law cases resulting from workplace discrimination and harassment for over 30 years, and has appeared in court approximately 1,000 times.

The tension between free speech rights and workplace discrimination and harassment can be confusing, causing many victims of employment law violations to question whether they may have a claim for damages. Many circumstances may be subject to legal action:

• It is illegal for superiors and co-workers to systematically impose religious views upon you at work
• The handing out of pamphlets about religion at work may be illegal
• Inquiring about your religious views in the workplace is inappropriate
• Encouraging you to adopt a religious view in the workplace is not allowed
• Criticizing, mocking and questioning your sexual orientation based on religious views, and quoting the bible in regard to your sexual orientation
• Writing you up or retaliating against you after you request time off for a religious reason, including the Sabbath day, is illegal

If you have questions regarding religious discrimination and harassment at work, you may have a legal claim. For more information, contact our office for a no-charge discussion.
