The purpose of this volume is to analyze the influence of religion on labor relations, which are largely determined by the personalities and beliefs of the parties involved. The impact on labor relations appears at all stages, particularly during the initiation, functioning, and termination of an employment contract, and applies to both the private and public sectors.

In recent years, the relationship between religion and work has become more complex and has taken on a different dimension due to the heightened enforcement of anti-discrimination measures promoted by the European Union, which seeks to establish them through legislative action. Religious beliefs are a characteristic of each individual (varying for some and unchanging for others), and thus fall under legislation that prohibits discrimination in employment.

Across seven paragraphs or chapters, all related issues are analyzed in an understandable manner for both legal and non-legal workers, with emphasis on case law and everyday issues that arise in work environments.
