If your boss exclaims that you cannot pray at work anymore, does that violate rights; is it unconstitutional?

Yes and no. He can require you to not pray during work time but cannot stop you from doing it on breaks or before/after work.

Church/State separation doesn't apply here.

A JOB HAS NO RIGHT denying you to pray Muslims have to pray 5 times a day it is part of religion and if bosses have issues with it talk with union rep or HR

Well obviously it was disruptive to the business owner for whatever reason. He signs your check, you asked him for a job, employees do not rule the workplace the employer does.

If you don't like that Idea then start your own business and allow what you will then YOU can make the rules.

I can tell you this though, that if a law suit was brought against me by an employee because he could not pray at work, I would simply close the business,and all those that worked for me before would have cause to pray while they looked for employment elsewhere.

The freedom of religion is guaranteed us by our constitution, but I doubt that our founding fathers gave much consideration to practicing our religious beliefs at work.The guarantee is that it can be practiced in places of warship, at home and in public.

Dude, if you feel the need to pray and your boss doesnt want you to pray at work, then just go to the bathroom and in the privacy of your stall, pray all you want. That satisfies both parties. You get to pray, he doesnt have you praying in the workplace. Problem solved. UNLESS, you wish to make this some spectical.....and you want your praying to get you somewhere socially or something like that. I hate it when these religious people fight for things like this, when frankly dude, this is your job, not church. Like its more for the show! Look at me, Im praying....Im a good person.....blah blah blah....

simply put, this is your workplace. Praying should not be a part of it. Your boss has the right to not allow you to pray at his place of employement. Its his establishment or business. YOU are an employee. You do as he says. His not allowing you to do this is not unconstitutional, in fact, you are being the unreasonable one here. Just go to the bathroom and pray all you want in the stall in privacy.

The guy hired you to do a job. If you can't fit working into your busy prayer schedule - maybe you should find a job that can work around your schedule.

You are free to pray on your breaks, at lunch and during your off hours. And you are free to pray silently anytime you want.

You must be annoying in your prayer rituals. And your boss doesn't pay you to pray - he pays you to work.

RekonDog,

First "Semper Fi" !! Was a squid w/ 1/8 Marines in Beruit @ the BLT 10/20/83.

Second as I'm late to the game I'm glad you got your answer.

i'm falling into the parochial US strategies-set here! For a 2nd i presumed you meant the U. S. state! As I examine on I realised it wasn't in this occasion however the assumption did ensue to me - " Given the best-wing non secular morons interior the U. S. on the 2nd, how long till now this occurs in Atlanta?"

I would like to see him try to get away with that by not allowing Muslims to pray at work, so I assume you are a non-Muslim. In fact, many airports constructed special prayer rooms for Muslim cab drivers, and airports are built by governments, not private businesses. Barring prayer at a private business has nothing to do with the Constitution, building special prayer rooms at government funded facilities such as airports does. And to those who might say that a private business should be able to do whatever they want, see what happens if a bar refuses to serve certain patrons based on their race or to let patrons smoke (in places with smoking bans), private businesses are limited in their ability to do what they want all the time.

To all that say ... his work his rules.... what would be your answer if your boss said you cant be gay? Or didn't build hid establishment to be handicap accessible. .... then it will be war wouldn't it.... don't be ignorant just because you hate religion .... its personal freedom and as long as its not interfering with work... it shouldn't be a problem.... the law says so!!!

I wouldn't think you have the right to pray at work... Remember its his time not yours... his place not yours... and his right to say no. If you must pray all day or at certain times you should get another job...because it is obvious that you are disruptive to others ...
