Hadas Goldfarb began working at the hospital in 2015 and alleges that her termination was retaliation for not following the dress code. Orthodox Jewish women traditionally wear skirts, while NewYork-Presbyterian’s dress code calls for pants. Ms. Goldfarb alleges that this is an unlawful restriction of her religious principles.
Ms. Goldfarb says that she has worked as a paramedic for multiple organizations, but that NewYork-Presbyterian is the first to have a problem with her skirts. In addition to getting her job back, Ms. Goldfarb is suing for damages and a change in dress policy.
