FAQ
Note it is critical that your request outline your religious belief, not a personal belief, not an opinion, not a fear of a shot, or that you look better with a beard. It must be a sincerely held religious belief, and your request is your opportunity to express and explain that belief in clear terms.
A reasonable religious accommodation is any adjustment to the work environment that will allow an employee to practice their religious beliefs. This applies not only to schedule changes or leave for religious observances, but also to such things as dress or grooming practices that an employee has for religious reasons.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects employees and job applicants from discrimination based on religion. Title VII also requires employers to reasonably accommodate the religious practices of an employee or prospective employee, unless doing so would create an “undue hardship” on the employer.
Common examples include: Schedule changes: Scheduling around religious observances and providing flexible work and break schedules to accommodate religious obligations such as daily prayers or Sabbath observance.
Examples of some common religious accommodations include flexible scheduling, voluntary shift substitutions or swaps, job reassignments, and modifications to workplace policies or practices.
Religious Accommodation Title VII requires federal agencies, upon notice of a request, to reasonably accommodate employees whose sincerely held religious beliefs, practices or observances conflict with work requirements, unless the accommodation would create an undue hardship.
Don't automatically refuse an accommodation request or have an inflexible policy that doesn't allow for exceptions. Review each request individually. Discuss the request with the applicant or employee if needed to ensure you understand the employee's religious needs and available accommodation options.
My religious beliefs and practices, which result in this request for a religious accommodation, are sincerely held. I understand that the accommodation requested above may not be granted but that the company will attempt to provide a reasonable accommodation that does not create an undue hardship on the company.
When we talk about matters of faith with one another, we need to do so with sensitivity, honesty and straightforwardness. This means: Recognising that listening as well as speaking is necessary for a genuine conversation. Being honest about our beliefs and religious allegiances.
