Sally is a cashier at Local Goods,a large regional grocery store.To track time and attendance,Local Goods requires its cashiers to sign in and out at the cash registers using a biometric hand scanner.This allows Local Goods to determine hours worked,break times,etc.Sally is an Evangelical Christian and objects to use of the biometric hand scanner.In spite of having alternate procedures in place for cashiers who are not able to use the hand scanners due to physical limitations,Local Goods refuses to allow Sally to use an alternate method to sign in and out.After several weeks of noncompliance,and complaints from Sally that her paycheck is incorrect,she is terminated for failure to follow company policy.Sally brings a lawsuit alleging religious discrimination.What is likely to be the result in this case?
A) Local Goods will likely win if it can show that allowing Sally to use an alternative method to sign in and out is inconvenient.
B) Sally will likely win because Sally can prove that her supervisor at Local Goods didn't like her, and wanted her to lose her job.
C) Sally will likely win because she can demonstrate that the conflict is created by a deeply held religious belief that was reported to the employer, and she was terminated as a result.
D) Local Goods will likely win because it can demonstrate that Sally used the scanner a number of times so there is likely not a religious reason for refusing to use it-Sally is just being difficult.
