Abstract

Using employment cases from Belgium, France, the US and the ECtHR, this article argues that the distinction between front-office and back-office positions forms a useful analytical tool for religious discrimination/accommodation claims. Sweeping restrictions on religious dress are (too) easily accepted for front-office positions; a highly problematic back-office routing of religiously distinct employees has been taking place in creeping and unnoticed ways, with court cases lending legitimacy.

Keywords
