Gloria Is a Supervisor with the Standard Financial Insurance Company

Gloria is a supervisor with the Standard Financial Insurance Company. She is a Christian fundamentalist who strongly believes that God is the most important thing in her life. At a company training seminar, all of the attendees were told to make the company their number one priority in life. Gloria was extremely offended and told the trainer that her priorities were God first, then her family and, finally, her job. Following the seminar, she became extremely tense and her work suffered. Some of Gloria's subordinates complained that she was engaging in religious harassment. The complaint was investigated but it was not substantiated and no action was taken against Gloria. She requested and was granted four months of disability leave. While on leave, Gloria started a religious toy business. After she returned to work, she asked for 2 weeks off to attend a religious toy conference in China. Her request was denied due to her extended prior absences and her unit's workload. An audit of her work unit uncovered an error that if not discovered would have cost the company $10,000,000 to correct. Gloria was fired.

A) Gloria can establish disparate treatment based on her religion if she can show that she was treated differently than someone not of her religion who was similarly situated to her at work.
B) Standard Financial can legally motivate its work force by asking its employees to make their jobs their top priority unless there is some actual conflict with Gloria's religion.
C) Gloria's vacation request that was denied was motivated by her economic interest in the toy business rather than by her religion.
D) All of the choices are correct.
