In 2009, Gurpreet Kherha filed a discrimination charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, claiming that Tri-County Lexus in New Jersey had a “no beards” policy for their salesman, which violated his religious rights. In a move announced by the EEOC earlier this month, Kherha entered into a consent decree with the dealership, and was awarded $50,000 in compensatory damages. The decree also requires Tri-County Lexus to train its staff against discriminatory practices, with a focus on religious discrimination and religious accommodation laws. “I believe the outcome of this case was very positive and encourages anyone who believes they have been discriminated against, to take action to ensure that all employees are treated equally in the workplace no matter their race or religion,” said Kherha in a statement issued by the Sikh Coalition Nov. 19.
