Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, employers must provide reasonable accommodations for an employee's religious practices, unless it causes "undue hardship" on the employer. Undue hardship is defined as an accommodation that would be too costly or disruptive to the employer's operations. The two factors listed in option C - the cost of accommodation and the denial of rights to other employees to benefit under a bona fide seniority system - are examples of circumstances that may cause undue hardship. Option A is incorrect because the other employees desire to observe the same holiday is not a factor in determining undue hardship. Option B is incorrect because it does not mention the cost of accommodation as a factor. Option D is incorrect because there is no set duration or number of employees that automatically triggers undue hardship.
