In California, it is against the law for an employer to discriminate against any employee because of his or her religious beliefs. Additionally, CA and federal law requires that an employer provide an employee with reasonable accommodations for their sincerely held religious beliefs.

Such adverse action against an employee is considered discrimination and is illegal in the CA workplace. The men sued and won almost $800,000 in damages.
