Question

Neel is a cashier at Super Store. Saturday is the store’s busiest day. Neel tells the supervisor Sammy that every Saturday is the religious holiday for the religion to which Neel has recently converted, and Neel will need to be off on Saturday to observe it. What are Sammy's obligations to Neel?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Neel's employer's obligations in this scenario depend on how big the store is and how many other employees are employed in it. That is because under the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 employers with 15 or more employees need to make reasonable accommodations for employees' religious observances if it is within their capabilities. Therefore, if Neel's employer has more employees and has the ability to give Neel the day off without jeopardizing the store then he has the obligation to do so.
