Faith in the Workplace Website Training

Faith in the Workplace Website Training examines the balancing act federal law requires between employer and employee rights. This tutorial is designed to give specific strategies to help prevent discrimination against employees, while also allowing employers to maintain their own faith practices and principles through the use of specific examples for the proper methods of distributing religious materials, conducting Bible studies, and sharing personal faith-based beliefs.

To give you a general background, most discussions about religious freedom begin with the First Amendment and focus on the Establishment Clause (otherwise known as the "separation of church and state"), the Free Exercise Clause and the Free Speech Clause. Although the Constitution itself reminds us it is the "supreme law of the land" the workplace is unique.

Since the Constitution was designed to protect against abuses of governmental power, the First Amendment protects workplace conduct of employees of federal, state and local governments. However, with few exceptions (such as prohibiting slavery), the Constitution itself does not regulate conduct in the private sector. To fill this gap, Congress has enacted civil rights laws. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the federal statute most often applied to religious issues in the workplace.

This web training will focus primarily on Title VII, since it applies to most employees, whether public or private. Public employees should be aware, though, that they enjoy additional constitutional protections (and conversely, public employers must abide by additional restraints in regulating employee expression).
