Bob's Pizza requires his employees to take two extra 10 minute prayer breaks per shift in a special room with a statue of Jesus on the cross. Bob has provided this room especially for this purpose. Dylan is an atheist and doesn't pray. He complains because he thinks these breaks are a waste of his time and he would just as soon stay at his desk.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dylan's lack of belief in prayer could be considered a religious belief under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. If Dylan's beliefs can be accommodated without causing undue hardship for the company, then Bob's Pizza may be liable for religious discrimination. Bob's Pizza may need to explore alternatives that allow Dylan to opt-out of the prayer breaks, such as offering him a different task during the break time or allowing him to take his breaks in another location.
