The Supreme Court on Thursday made it easier for employees to seek religious accommodations in a case involving a lawsuit brought by an evangelical Christian mail carrier who asked not to work on Sundays.

The case involved a claim brought by a Pennsylvania man, Gerald Groff, who says the U.S. Postal Service could have granted his request that he be spared Sunday shifts based on his religious belief that it is a day of worship and rest.

His case will now return to lower courts for further litigation.

I have a problem with this. This particular case reasonable accommodation wasn't possible. He was hired on to work the weekends. This wasn't him not able to go above and beyond this was him not willing to do what he was explicitly hired to do. If he had been hired to work mon-fri and didnt want to work Sundays that would be one thing, but he was hired specifically to work Sundays.

I once had a coworker who was a diehard Christian we did a fair amount of weekend work. I took Sundays and it wasn't a big deal and I never made it one because why should I? The thing is our normal shift was mon-fri.
