Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under Title VII, employers must make reasonable accommodations for employees' religious beliefs or practices, as long as it does not cause undue hardship to the employer. If Unique Fashions had another position available for Matthew where he would not have to shave his beard and they did not offer it to him, then Matthew would have a claim for religious discrimination. The fact that he did not inform the employer of his religious beliefs during the interview does not legally absolve the employer of their responsibility under Title VII.
