Review of Past Settlements and Verdicts


What is the value of a religious discrimination case? Since no two cases are the same, it can be difficult to discuss the average value of a religious discrimination lawsuit. The verdict or settlement amount of a religious discrimination lawsuit will depend on the specific details of the discriminatory situation. Below, you will find a list of past settlements and verdicts:

  • $71,000—two women were discriminated against because of the headscarves they wore for religious reasons. One of the women was not hired because she was wearing a headscarf during the interview; the other woman was terminated because she wore a headscarf. The defendant was a prominent clothing store with a strict “look policy” that failed to accommodate employees with certain religious beliefs. Besides monetary compensation to the victims, the clothing store was required to enforce a religious accommodation policy.
  • $75,000—a male employee was denied religious accommodations and was the target of insensitive jokes and comments based on his religion from management, coworkers, and customers. After the plaintiff complained about the discrimination he was experiencing, he was terminated. Besides the monetary compensation to the victim, the company was required to adopt a new policy against religious discrimination.
  • $50,000—a man was denied a position because of his appearance. His religion prevented him from cutting his hair; however, the employer informed the plaintiff that he could have the job if he cut his hair. Besides the monetary compensation to the plaintiff, the company was required to establish an anti-discrimination and accommodation policy and provide anti-discriminatory training to all managers.
  • $100,000—a woman was denied religious accommodation and was told she would not be permitted to work unless she removed her religious headscarf. Besides the monetary compensation for the plaintiff, the company was required to create policies to address religious discrimination and accommodations.
  • $40,000—a woman began wearing skirts to work after a change in her religious beliefs. The long-time employee faced religious discrimination when the company’s owner changed. The new owner informed the plaintiff that all employees must wear pants. The company failed to accommodate the employee and, instead, terminated her. Besides the monetary compensation to the plaintiff, the company to adopt anti-discrimination and religious accommodation policies.

Type of Compensation Available for Religious Discrimination Cases


What affects the payout you receive after winning your lawsuit? Depending on the specific details of a case, the plaintiff might be eligible to receive compensation. The amount you can receive will always depend on each situation; the categories of compensation available for workplace religious discrimination cases include lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive damages. Below, you will find a list of the different type of compensations along with a short description of each type:

  • Lost wages—if you lost your job after you were discriminated against based on your religion, you might have experienced illegal firing. If you lost your job, you stopped earning your wages. You might be eligible to receive compensation for the wages would have earned if you had not been terminated. If you did not experience wrongful firing based on your religion, you likely lost wages in other forms. If you were denied pay raises, opportunities for promotions with higher pay, or bonuses, you could receive compensation for that.
  • Pain and suffering—if you experienced religious discrimination in the workplace, you could have also experienced mental and emotional distress. The discrimination based on your religion could have left you with fear, anxiety, panic, or depression. If so, an evaluation from a professional will establish the level of mental and emotional affliction.
  • Punitive damages—if the religious discrimination was intentional and malicious, the lawsuit might result in punitive damages. Punitive damages are designed to punish the employer and to try to prevent an incident from reoccurring.

In addition to the compensation listed above, there might be other outcomes to a lawsuit. For example, the employer might be required to make policy changes to prevent the religious discrimination from reoccurring. This might include establishing anti-discrimination workshops and training to inform the staff and ensure that no employees are victimized in the future.
