The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled in favor of an ex-postal worker who challenged the U.S. Postal Service for refusing to back his religious accommodation not to work on the Sabbath.
The unanimous ruling clarified a half-century precedent, explaining that when an employer denies an employee a religious accommodation, the employer must show a substantial cost for the adjustment.
“We hold that showing ‘more than a de minimis cost,’ as that phrase is used in common parlance, does not suffice,” wrote Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. for the court.
