Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)

The EEOC just adopted a new Compliance Manual section on religious discrimination. The Compliance Manual is the document that the EEOC investigators use when reviewing charges and making decisions about violations. While the new section is not supposed to change the law, it incorporates the many court decisions that have been decided over the past 15 years. Issues covered include what is a religion, what is undue hardship, what is a reasonable accommodation and what is a hostile environment.
