Beyond Groff v. DeJoy: Navigating Religious Accommodations-2024CLC-D10
Cost -
Religious accommodations can impact the workplace in myriad ways, including requests for time off for religious observances, dress and appearance codes, dietary needs, provision of prayer and worship space, and flexible scheduling. In 2023, the United States Supreme Court clarified the undue hardship standard governing religious accommodation claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, rejecting the “de minimus” standard after nearly 50 years. Post-Groff, employers must evaluate whether providing the accommodation would result in “substantial increased costs in relation to the conduct of [an employer's] particular business."
