Abstract

Over the past decade, the number of religious accommodation lawsuits against employers has risen. Consequently, there is a need for employers to improve their understanding of the intricacies of religious accommodation to prevent unnecessary legal costs and lost productivity. A review of over 100 religious civil rights cases reveals many motivational and legal pitfalls for employers. From this review, we have derived a set of principles that employers may use as guides to minimize their legal and motivational exposures.
