Lucinda was a member of the Christian Science church. Paulette was a born-again Christian. They sat next to each at work. Paulette left a flyer for her church revival on Lucinda's desk. Paulette also emailed bible verses to Lucinda and invited her to worship service every Sunday, telling her that she should go to a real church because she was such a nice girl. Lucinda asked Paulette to stop but Paulette responded that her religion required her to save lost souls. Lucinda complained to her supervisor about Paulette's witnessing to her.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lucinda may have a claim under Title VII if she can prove that Paulette's behavior was severe or pervasive and management did not take prompt or effective corrective action after it was reported to them. While Paulette's actions may have been well-intentioned, they could still create a hostile work environment for Lucinda, especially if she repeatedly asked Paulette to stop and Paulette continued to push her religious beliefs on her. However, the determination of whether or not the behavior rises to the level of a violation of Title VII will depend on the specific facts and circumstances of the case.
