Frequently Asked Questions

As an employer, am I legally allowed to ask about a potential employee's religion during an interview?
Asking questions about an interviewee's religion, and subsequently not hiring the person, may be considered religious discrimination. Such questions should be avoided to minimize liability.

Which laws concerning religious discrimination or religious harassment should I know about?
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 establishes frequently cited, national guidelines about religious discrimination.

What are some other resources that I can use as a business owner in addition to Faith in the Workplace?

Applied Truth provides brief video segments, about 5 minutes in length, in which an experienced business leader shares how he or she has applied a specific truth from the Bible. The videos are designed to set up discussion following the video in which you can discuss how the truth presented applies to your work.
