Religious Accommodation as Undue Hardship

Attorney
Charlottesville, VA, USA

In Groff v. DeJoy, 600 U.S. 447, 143 S.Ct. 2279 (2023), the Supreme Court held that for an employer to deny a religious accommodation for an employee as an undue hardship under Title VII, the employer must show that granting an accommodation would result in substantial increased costs for its particular business. The case is important because it moved away from prior cases allowing employers to deny accommodations that imposed more than a “de minimus” or minimal cost on the employer, thereby strengthening the rights of employees to religious accommodations.
