Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Yes, Caroline's employer must accommodate this new religious practice because the duty to accommodate Caroline's religious beliefs attaches to the conflict itself, not to when the conflict arises. It does not matter whether the conflict was present when the applicant was hired or arose later; there is still a duty on the employer to attempt to accommodate the religious conflict.
