- W91799153 abstract "I. INTRODUCTIONReligion, pregnancy, smoking, criminal conduct, personal appearance, sexual orientation, and gender identity - they are all, to some extent, individual choices. When should employers be permitted to discriminate in employment decisions based on those choices? the background section of this paper the current legislation and litigation will be reviewed; the squiggly line between legal and illegal discrimination will be revealed to exist in the listed areas. Why are employers prohibited from considering some attributes, such as sex or national origin, but not others, such as smoking, appearance, sexual orientation or gender identity?* 1 In short, what is the project of the employment discrimination statutes?2 Currently there is no unifying principle that explains the choices American law has made with respect to protected classification.3 However, when . . one moves the focus to traits that are excluded from statutory coverage and attempts to understand the rationale for some of these omissions, one can only conclude that this country's employment discrimination framework is somewhat illogical and incoherent.4 The public policy issues will be analyzed followed by discussion of the managerial implications. The authors conclude that because of the variety in priority of values in the United States, there is not an easy answer that will resolve conflicts.II. BACKGROUNDA. ReligionOf the topics discussed in this article, discrimination in employment is perhaps one of the more explicitly enunciated prohibitions of Title VII. Specifically, is defined for purposes of Title VII as including all aspects of observance and practice, as well as belief, unless an employer demonstrates that he is unable to reasonably accommodate to an employee's or prospective employee's observance or practice without undue hardship on the conduct of the employer's business.5 But much more expansively, the EEOC guidelines on key upon sincere belief of the employee as to positions which are equivalent to traditional views.Title VII defines religion to include all aspects of observance and practice as well as belief.6 Religion includes not only traditional, organized religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, but also beliefs that are new, uncommon, not part of formal church or sect, only subscribed to by small number of people, or that seem illogical or unreasonable to others. Further, person's beliefs need not be confined in either source or content to traditional or parochial concepts of religion.7 A belief is religious for Title VII purposes if it is 'religious' in the person's own scheme of things, i.e., it is a sincere and meaningful belief that occupies in the life of its possessor place parallel to that filled by ... God. An employee's belief or practice can be religious under Title VII even if the employee is affiliated with group that does not espouse or recognize that individual's belief or practice, or if few - or no - other people adhere to it.Religious beliefs include theistic beliefs as well as non-theistic moral or ethical beliefs as to what is right and wrong which are sincerely held with the strength of traditional views.8 Although courts generally resolve doubts about particular beliefs in favor of finding that they are religious, beliefs are not protected merely because they are strongly held. Rather, typically concerns ultimate ideas about life, purpose, and death. Social, political, or economic philosophies, as well as mere personal preferences, are not religious beliefs protected by Title VII.9Obviously the interpretation of what is and is not is far from clear. Often times it is more expedient for court, as it did in Cloutier v. Costco Wholesale Corp.,10 to simply defer the decision of what may constitute religion, and instead first determine whether or not reasonable accommodation was presented. …" @default.
