Groff v$.$ DeJoy$|$J$$stia

Mr$.$ Groff is a religious Christian and worked as a postal carrier with the USPS $($U$.$S$.$ Postal Service$).$

He worked many years as a postal carrier and has never been asked to work Sundays. With the partnership between the USPS and Amazon, he was asked to begin working on Sundays. He refused and was threatened with termination. He resigned.

He sued under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

The Supreme Court of the United States did not overturn, but did rule against a prior case.

You are the executive vice president of a company having $3000$ employees and you have operations seven days per week.

Draft a policy for your company's employee handbook that takes in to account the analysis in Groff outlining the company's position on religious accommodation in scheduling matters and the process employees must follow in order to request an accommodation.

Reminders:

Your policy should not only comply with the Groff decision, buy you should read what the court said in relation to the case Trans World Airlines, Inc. v$.$ Hardison, $432$ U$.$S$.63,84(1977).$
