Asking to Wear a Skirt instead of Pants Can Be a Reasonable Religious Accommodation

2/7/2022

 
A health services provider for correctional facilities has settled a lawsuit that the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed, alleging that the company discriminated against one of its employees because of their sincerely held religious beliefs.  The lawsuit claimed that a nurse, who was a practicing Apostolic Pentecostal Christian, informed the company’s human resources department that she was required to dress modestly because of her religious beliefs, including wearing a skirt instead of pants at work.  After she informed HR, her request was declined and her job offer rescinded.  Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination against employees because of their sincerely held religious beliefs.  See EEOC v. Wellpath LLC, No. 5:20-cv-01092 (W.D. Tex.).
