Scenario
Kate participates in a religion that meets on Saturday mornings. Kate’s religion is very important to her and she has not missed a service in four years. She gets a job at Martin’s Market, indicating on her application that she is unable to work on Saturdays because of religious beliefs, but indicates that she will work any other day and time. Kate’s manager schedules her to work on Saturdays and Kate asks to be changed to a different shift. The manager refuses. Kate states that she will not be at work on Saturday because of her religious beliefs. The manager states that if she does not show up, he will fire her. Kate does not report to work and she is terminated. Could Kate meet the tests above?
