Supreme Court Ruling: Religious Accommodations' Impact on Employees

The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in the case of Gerald Groff, a former postal worker, that employers cannot reject religious accommodation requests based on trivial costs. Employers should accommodate religious employees' requests unless it would result in substantial increased costs to the business. This decision has the potential to give religious employees more control over their schedules and dress codes. Legal experts believe that this ruling will change the outcome of many future cases involving religious accommodations in the workplace.
