California employees observe many different religions including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and many others. It is important for the employee to know that it is your employer’s duty to make reasonable accommodations for your religious beliefs and needs. For example, in a recent case involving an airline, the airline was sued for allegedly not allowing its employees to trade shifts in order to avoid working on specific days. One of the employees, a Jewish woman, was required to work after sundown on Fridays, even though she had shared the importance of recognizing the Sabbath (Shabbat) in her religion. The airline would not make reasonable accommodations to allow her to work other days.

The airline also allegedly did not hire a Christian man who in the interview process informed the airline what he could not work on Sunday mornings because he wanted to attend a church service. Both of these instances are examples of workplace religious discrimination. They are against the law.
