Inhaltsangabe

Between 1997 and 2007, the number of religious discrimination charges filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) increased 100 percent. Though EEOC has responded to this increase in a variety of ways, the July 2008 issuance of the updated Religious Discrimination Section of the EEOC Compliance Manual is the most recent effort put forth. This update consolidates longstanding Commission positions from regulations, policy guidance, and litigation into one comprehensive document. What guidelines does this revised section set forth regarding preventing and responding to religious discrimination in the workplace? How should employers respond to and investigate discrimination complaints? How can attorneys assist employers in implementing new programs? Understanding the New EEOC Guidelines on Religious Discrimination provides feedback from some of the nation's leading legal minds on the key strategies for complying with new EEOC guidance and developing more accommodating workplace policies. These experts build upon the suggestions in the new section of the Compliance Manual and offer their own advice for creating and maintaining a diverse and accepting work environment. This in-depth report offers readers an on-the-spot look at this issue as it continues to unfold.
