In this podcast, James Paul and Michael Eckard discuss recent
developments with regard to religious accommodations in the
workplace, and how employees use these accommodations as both
swords and shields in the workplace. Our speakers discuss recent
litigation regarding religious accommodation requests—both
those related to COVID-19 and those that are unrelated to the
pandemic. James and Michael also delve deep into the recent
disparate treatment Third Circuit Court of Appeals case (brought by
an employee who asked to not be scheduled on Sundays), which
provided insights on what constitutes an undue hardship.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
