Issues of concern and questions that have arisen from these cases have centered on a few key issues. Employers may not treat workers differently because of their religious attire, such as a Muslim hijab (head scarf). In fact, in 2015, the Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in favor of a Muslim woman who was denied a job at an Abercrombie & Fitch store in Tulsa, Oklahoma, because she wore a headscarf. This was after an interviewer had recommended the woman for hire for a sales job. Abercrombie's dress code prohibits salespeople from wearing caps. The Court held that a job applicant seeking to prove a Title VII disparate treatment claim need only show that the need for a religious accommodation was a motivating factor in the prospective employer's adverse decision.
