With the upcoming Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Chauvel & Glatt wants to remind employers of their responsibility to reasonably accommodate their employees’ religious practices.
An accommodation can include but is not limited to approving an employee’s requests for time off for religious holidays, avoiding scheduling of important meetings and engagements on these dates, or rescheduling shifts. Employers may be subject to certain state and federal laws relating to religious accommodation, so it is important for employers to ensure that their practice and policies comply with such requirements. For questions regarding religious accommodation in the workplace, contact the Employer Lawyers at Chauvel & Glatt.
