My husband was just offered a new job. The interviewer explained that the company likes to have maintain a “wholesome” image/the CEO is “old school” and that he would have to shave his beard. There is no safety concern involved. My husband is of Jewish heritage and is semi-practicing and wears his beard to honor his heritage and religion. He informed the employer of this and the employer gave him a religious exemption form to complete. One of the questions requires him to get a letter from a “religious official” stating that my husband is a practicing Jew. My husband is not a member of a synagogue and does his religious observances at home. Is this legal? Does he have to provide this? I’ve tried doing research and it seems as though it is a Title XI violation and that they can’t require it.
