Employers will have to meet a higher standard to deny religious accommodations in the workplace, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously
Gerald Groff in Holtwood, Pennsylvania on March 08, 2023. A former part-time postal worker, Groff is a devout Christian and he sued the United States Postal Service claiming religious discrimination because he was being forced to work on Sundays.mployers will have to meet a higher standard to deny religious accommodations in the workplace, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Thursday.
Other experts argue expanding religious accommodations for employees could also be harmful. “We should not overlook that the Christian conservative legal movement brought this case and what they want is to allow pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions for contraception, teachers to misgender students, and Christians to proselytize to their co-workers,” says Elizabeth Sepper, a law professor at the University of Texas at Austin and expert on religious liberty.
“We hold that showing “more than a de minimis cost,” … does not suffice to establish “undue hardship” under Title VII. Hardison cannot be reduced to that one phrase,” Alito wrote. “We therefore, like the parties, understand Hardison to mean that “undue hardship” is shown when a burden is substantial in the overall context of an employer’s business.”
