Religious Accommodation

Religious accommodation refers to adjusting workplace policies, practices, or procedures to allow employees to observe their religious beliefs without facing unnecessary hardship. This might include flexible scheduling for religious holidays, dress code modifications, or prayer breaks. The goal is to respect and uphold individuals’ religious practices while maintaining workplace effectiveness. Employers are generally required to provide such accommodations unless doing so causes significant difficulty or expense to the organization. It promotes diversity, inclusion, and respect for different faiths within the workplace.
