The Supreme Court has issued a unanimous decision in Groff v. DeJoy, setting aside the "de minimis" standard set more than 45 years ago and laying out a "clarified standard" for lower courts to apply when determining when an employee's proposed religious accommodation imposes an undue hardship on the employer's business. This decision is a major victory for workers seeking religious accommodations from their employers, and could have far-reaching implications for how employers handle such requests in the future.
