Publix denied the request, and the man chose not to accept the job offer, the EEOC said.
Publix violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bans religious discrimination in the workplace, the EEOC said. The agency filed suit in 2017 in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee after attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement, the release said.
Judge Eli Richardson entered a two-year consent decree that requires Publix to consider applicants’ requests for religious accommodations; “reasonably accommodate” qualified employees or applicants whose religious beliefs conflict with the company’s grooming standards; and provide training on non-discrimination and religious-accommodation policies to supervisors and human resource employees at the Nashville store.
