About the Program
The Supreme Court handed down its opinion in Groff v. DeJoy in June 2023, changing the test for determining when a religious accommodation constitutes an “undue hardship” for an employer. The decision has inspired a number of suits from employees testing what this new rule means. At the same time, many employers are seeing new trends in religious accommodation requests.
Seyfarth attorneys Dawn Solowey, Andrew Quesnelle, and Rachel See will be joined by EEOC Vice Chair Jocelyn Samuels as they explore the evolving concept of reasonable accommodation post-Groff. The panel will discuss topics such as:
- What constitutes a sincere religious conflict with a workplace policy;
- What undue hardship looks like in practical terms post-Groff;
- How significant the Groff decision is and what it means for employers;
- Examples and trends in religious accommodation requests and litigation; and
- Considerations and best practices for handling religious accommodation requests.
