Joe Biden issued a mandate for private employers with 100 or more employees. This mandate is being challenged in the courts and may eventually be overturned but is currently still in effect for approximately 80 million workers in the United States.
Because of the mandate, employers have the right to ask questions about an employee’s belief, but employees also have rights. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution allows Americans the freedom to practice their faith.
According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), “Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin and religion. It generally applies to employers with 15 or more employees, including federal, state and local governments. Title VII also applies to private and public colleges and universities, employment agencies, and labor organizations.”
The law doesn’t give a lot of guidance when it comes to defining religious beliefs but discourages discrimination based on one’s faith.
