How about wearing a hijab to work, could you decide as an employer?

Here in Trinidad we have quite a few Muslims. A girl started work here in a hijab, company told her to take it off,and of course because everyone has cableTV here, she did the American thing and got a lawyer to sue her new employer. Then they wanted to hear the Prime Ministers opinion (thinking he is a politician and would not get involved).
Not only did he get involved, he told the court to not even hear the case. He said, if she had told the company up front she was going to wear a hijab, they could have decided whether to hire her or not, by not telling them, she deceived her employer, the equivalent of lying on a job application, and the company was right to send her home.
Ah common sense in politics, a rarity.

Trinidad had a ridiculous amount of ISIS fighters go to Syria

As an employer, you’d need to make a compelling argument as to why, otherwise you’ll lose in court easily. There is already precedent on this issue. Similar to how Jews can wear their yarmulke to work.

There are reportedly 400 Trinidadians in Syria, living under the so-called caliphate. The official number given by the government of T&T is 120. This is well below the 1,800 from France and the 760 from Britain. Yet T&T, with a population of 1.3 million, including 104,000 Muslims, is top of the list of Western countries with the highest rates of foreign-fighter radicalization. This is one of the big untold stories of the war in Syria, and it's why I had come to Trinidad in February and June this year.

Highest per capita, but we only have 1.3 million people, so it was around 400 or so....but no more.
The ones that didnt get "blown up sir" (dime to Stripes), we didnt get in a big debate, we just told them ya aint coming back.

How the frick should I know? I thought you were asking a rhetorical question about the US and used Trinidad why you thought of the issue

Guess she didn't wear it to the job interview.
So, how would it go over if a man interviewed for a job dressed in a suit and was hired. Then showed up on day 1 with makeup and a dress on? That would be some frickery. It would be hard to fire the tranny even though they pulled a bait and switch. That's fricked up.

There are many, many small businesses in America that WILL NOT hire a millennial aged college educated female. They see it as a risk. This age group will cause nothing but trouble in the office. You risk law problems if you bring in one of these progressives in your office. Every single person where I work votes republican. Every single person is pro second amendment and a Trump supporter. A liberal would not last a day there.

I manage a business. I would never hire a Muslim.

Common sense? Sounds like hysteria.

I wonder if she interviewed in person and wore the hijab then?
If she did interview without wearing the hijab, well then, more power to the employer!

No she did not.

No. Why?
Did you not understand the hypothetical?

In the United States, Title VII requires that an employer provide a reasonable accommodation to the employee’s religious practices (wearing the hijab, here). To get around this, the employer must show that providing the accommodation would impose undue hardship on the employer.
Title VII also prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion in employment practices such as hiring.
I doubt similar protection exists in Trinidad, though.
