Equal Employment Opportunity Commission November 23, 2020 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC or Commission) is announcing the availability of a draft updated guidance, entitled ``Proposed Updated Compliance Manual on Religious Discrimination.'' The proposed updated guidance explains a variety of issues applicable to religious discrimination claims, discusses typical scenarios in which religious discrimination and requests for religious accommodation may arise, and provides guidance to employers on how to balance the needs of individuals in a diverse religious climate. The proposed guidance, when finalized, will supersede the Commission's Compliance Manual on Religious Discrimination issued on July 22, 2008.
