Is religion off-limits on the job? What the law says may surprise you.
"Carolyn Homer, a Latter-day Saint and a lawyer for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, says the most common employment complaints the group receives fall under these general categories:
• Dress codes that don’t permit hijabs.
• Hour/break codes that don’t permit prayer breaks.
• Requests for time off or work-hour adjustments for Jummah (daily) prayers, Ramadan/Eid, or attending Hajj (the annual pilgrimage to Mecca).
• Workers asked to sell/serve/touch alcohol/pork products.
• Employers/bosses calling Muslim workers terrorists, mocking their faith or ripping their hijabs off while yelling, “This is America, go back to your country.”"
