Religious Rights vs. Workplace Demands: Supreme Court Set to Rule on Accommodating Employees’ Faith

Former postal worker Gerald Groff was not allowed to observe Sabbath on Sundays and was punished when he did not work those days.
Groff's case, Groff v. DeJoy, will be argued in the Supreme Court and could affect religious employees' ability to attend scheduled prayer services and wear religious attire.
The verdict in the Groff case could alter and potentially strengthen protections for all religious workers going forward.
The Postal Service argues that accommodating Groff would have imposed an undue hardship on its business by requiring it to operate with insufficient staff.
The outcome of the case could change how employers handle religious accommodations for employees.
