| Dec 21, 2015 at 6:37 | comment | added | Fred | @Avi If working on Shabbos is essential to the job, and it would impose an undue hardship on the employer to allow the employee to not work on Shabbos (not just marginal inconvenience or office politics problems), I think it may be legal for the employer to fire her for not working on Shabbos. Anyway, most jobs don't meet this relatively high legal threshold to fire a religious worker, and it's not fair to anyone involved for a religious Jew to try to get a job with an employer that does meet that threshold. (Disclaimer: IANAL). | |
