The case that established the right of a Sabbatarian to refuse Saturday employment as a condition for receiving unemployment benefits is Sherbert v. Verner, a Supreme Court case from 1963. In this case, the court ruled that the South Carolina unemployment compensation law violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments by denying benefits to a Seventh-day Adventist who refused to work on Saturday due to her religious beliefs. This decision established a precedent for religious freedom in the workplace.
