Religious Accommodation Requirements Just Took a Turn

One of the trickier issues in the workplace can be a religious accommodation request, and on June 29, it got a lot trickier. In Groff v. DeJoy, No. 22-174 (June 29, 2023), the US Supreme Court decided a case involving a mail delivery employee working for the United States Postal Service. An Evangelical Christian, he asserted that his religious belief required that Sundays be devoted to worship and rest, not work. He eventually resigned after being disciplined for missing several Sundays.
