Requirements to Establish a Case

An employee needs to communicate to their employer their sincerely held religious believe and also the negative impact of that belief.  There are three basic requirements to establishing a religious discrimination case under Title VII. An employee must prove that:

1. They had a bona fide religious belief and that the practice of their belief conflicted with an employment duty;
2. They informed their employer of the belief and conflict; and
3. The employer threatened him or subjected him to discriminatory treatment because of his inability to fulfill the job requirements because of this religious belief.
