Co-workers could bear costs of accommodating religious employees in the workplace if Supreme Court tosses out 46-year-old precedent

Retrieved on: 
Monday, May 15, 2023

The Supreme Court may soon transform the role of faith in the workplace, which could have the effect of elevating the rights of religious workers at the expense of co-workers.

Key Points: 
  • The Supreme Court may soon transform the role of faith in the workplace, which could have the effect of elevating the rights of religious workers at the expense of co-workers.
  • On April 18, 2023, the court heard oral arguments in Groff v. DeJoy, a case addressing an employer’s obligation to accommodate religious employees’ requests under federal law.
  • The dispute involves a Christian postal worker who quit his job and sued the U.S.

Religious rights in the workplace

    • The court determined that Title VII does not require employers to bear more than a “de minimis” or minimal cost in accommodating religious employees.
    • Relying on this narrow decision, employees requesting religious accommodation in the workplace have generally fared poorly in the courts.
    • After failing to persuade Congress to amend Title VII, religious advocates turned to the Supreme Court.
    • In practice, that has made it easier for an employer to avoid accommodating a religious request.

Business interests vs. religious rights

    • Ultimately, the Groff case pits business interests against religious rights.
    • One way to resolve these two apparently competing interests would be to overturn the de minimis standard and require employers to provide greater accommodation to religious employees while allowing employers to sometimes shift this cost to co-workers.
    • Take, for example, one common type of accommodation request, which is time off from work for religious observance.

Co-workers bearing the brunt

    • This is of particular concern in cases in which religious expression demeans LGBTQ+ people.
    • Assuming the Supreme Court decides this case as expected, the losers would be co-workers who will bear the brunt of the increased religious accommodation requirement.
