Groff v. DeJoy
The key law here is a provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Congress amended the act to include even greater protections for workers. It required companies to reasonably accommodate all religious practices by employees that can be achieved without undue hardship on the business. In 1977, the Supreme Court decided Trans World Airlines versus Hardison interpreting the term undue hardship to mean that religious employees' beliefs need not be accommodated if doing so would require a business to quote, bear more than a de minimis costs. But the challenger here was denied a religious accommodation and in response has launched an attack on that long governing standard in Hardison.
