1,817 words (approx. 7.3 pages) | 5 sources | APA | 2009 United States


Paper Summary:

In this paper, the writer discusses the elements of religious discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The writer also evaluates how his employer, Homes and Services, Inc. (HS) ensures its protection from such a liability through its policies and procedures, and a supportive work environment. Finally, the writer reviews his employer's actions and makes recommendations for improvement. The paper shows how, although no organization is immune from the threat of discrimination claims being filed, it can certainly take careful and crucial steps to protect its employees and the company itself.

From the Paper:

"The American public most commonly converses about sexual discrimination and race discrimination. However, among the charges being presented to the EEOC on a yearly basis, are a rapidly growing number of religious discrimination claims. Employment discrimination claims increased by 4.5 percent from 2001 to 2002, with much of that increase coming from ethnicity and religion after the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001 (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman, 2007). Nationally, religious discrimination charges by the EEOC rose from 1,939 in 2000 to 2,572 in 2002 and just in 2006 alone the EEOC reported 2,541 charges of religious discrimination, remaining roughly at that level every year (Sostek, 2007). It is clear that employees are experiencing more negativity in the workplace regarding their religious beliefs and practices, and only Title VII offers them protection from this type of discrimination."
