    The undue hardship argument proves even more valid, because as in Tepper v. Potter, this not only causes undue hardship financially for the company, but also undue hardship for company employees having to accommodate the employee’s religious schedule. Further, no additional claims alleging discrimination have been brought forward from any other employees alleging that the schedule change infringes on their religious beliefs or hinders their ability to freely practice their religion. Recommendations: 1. Make sure management is aware that they must effectively communicate with employees in regard to upper management directives and decisions. 2.…

    Cooke stated that she assumed she was Muslim because of the headscarf, but the manager argued that they shouldn’t hire her because it “violated store policy” to wear a headscarf. A federal agency, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued on Elauf's behalf arguing that the store had discriminated on the basis of religion in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This law makes it illegal for an employer to “refuse or fail to hire” an individual because of their religion, unless he/she is unable to reasonably accommodate a religious observance or practice. Abercrombie does not dispute that Elauf was denied employment because of her headscarf. The company argued that its "look policy" is neutral on religion, but that employees are not allowed to wear headgear.…

    Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, no employer can discriminate against an employee based upon race, color, religion, sex or national origin. When Shaun is demoted by Montgomery ’s it was because the customer (Phil) made a false complaint about her supposedly saying a racial slur towards Phil. Thus under federal law Shaun was not discriminated against because the law only applies to undesirable employer actions against employees based upon Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which is race, color, sexual orientation, national origin and so on. Shaun being demoted was not based on those examples; it was based on her alleged behavior.…

    Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act brought about two chief concepts of illegal discrimination. These concepts are disparate treatment and disparate impact (Harper, 2016). This section of the Civil Rights Act makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate against an employee based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Individuals cannot lawfully be denied employment opportunities or have their employment adversely affected merely because of their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin (EEOC Website, 2016).…

    Jeffery, I agree that the W2 is not the best way to accurately measure annual income to discover the possibility of pay discrimination. The EEOC would have to look at more than just base pay at my job. Our base pay is different depending on the person’s pay grade and how long they have been employed. For the most part, the base pay increases every two years. At my job, the EEOC would also have to know how long an individual has been an employee with the company.…
