metadata.value: In Russia, labour disputes are increasingly arising over the fundamental admissibility of employees
  observing the norms of the religion they profess, ethical teachings and the possibilities
  for obliging employers not to interfere with their observance by creating appropriate conditions
  for the use of labour. Law enforcement practice, in the absence of clear guidelines in the
  legislation, “disguises” such disagreements as disputes about dismissal for violation of labour
  laws, ignoring their true discriminatory nature. The article analyzes in detail one of the sections
  of the designated problem of reconciliation of labour and religion — the observance by
  religious workers of the requirements for the appearance and rules of business etiquette at the
  employer. Considering the problem, the author starts from the three main religious needs of
  the employee, which he seeks to satisfy in a controversial situation of contradiction between
  the employer’s requirements and religious norms. Drawing extensively on materials from foreign
  practice and analyzing Russian legislation, the author comes to the following conclusions.
  The ability of an employee to satisfy a need such as the wearing of religious clothing, symbols,
  or other external manifestation of religious commitment will depend on what regulation is
  established by the employer in this regard. It also gives an assessment of the so-called policy
  of religious neutrality, established at the local level. As for the need for an employee to verbally
  express his religiosity and views, the employer has the right to prohibit such actions if
  they cause inconvenience to other employees or customers, threaten to lose customers, the
  image of the employer, and also to prevent proselytism in the team of employees. Finally, an
  employee for religious reasons may express a desire to refrain from participating in the employer’s
  corporate events: coercion by the employer to the contrary clearly constitutes indirect
  discrimination.
