Religious discrimination includes failing to reasonably accommodate an employee's religious practices where the accommodation does not impose undue hardship. and the West Virginia human rights commission. Jefferson County also protects those with disabilities, employees age 40 years or older from discrimination, sexual discrimination and genetic discrimination.
