An employee who has a religious conflict has no duty to assist with their employer's attempt to accommodate the conflict.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The key is for an employer to make sure that the basis for the employee's conflict is a religious one and then to try to work out an accommodation. Once the employer is aware of the conflict, the employer must attempt a good-faith accommodation of the religious conflict and the employee must assist in the attempted accommodation. If none can be worked out and the employer has tried everything available that does not present an undue hardship, then the employer has fulfilled his or her Title VII obligation and there is no liability, even if the employee's religious conflict cannot be accommodated.
