Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, an employer must make a reasonable accommodation for an employee's religious beliefs unless it would cause an undue hardship. Therefore, the employer must make reasonable efforts to accommodate John's request not to work on Mondays, such as scheduling him to work on a different day, unless doing so would cause an undue hardship for the employer. The employer cannot simply refuse to let John off on Mondays without making any accommodation.
