Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Employer defined
“Employer” means any individual, organization, or governmental body including any partnership, association, trustee, estate, corporation, joint stock company, insurance company, or legal representative, whether domestic or foreign, or the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, trustee or successor thereof, and any common carrier by mail, motor, water, air or express company doing business in or operating within the state, and any agent of such employer, which has one or more individuals performing services for it within the state.
Unlawful employment practices
The unlawful employment practices and exemptions are similar to those under the federal Guidelines on Discrimination Because of Religion. The state law does not specifically require employers to reasonably accommodate employees religious beliefs. However, failure to accommodate might be considered a form of discrimination. Also, the federal law would still apply.
