DeJoy, a case concerning the extent to which large companies must provide religious accommodations to their employees. Gerald Groff was a U.S. Postal Service (USPS) rural carrier associate, a non-career employee position. He provided coverage for career employees out on leave. The USPS, in a deal with Amazon, began doing Sunday deliveries. Mr. Groff, a Christian, said he would not work because of his religious beliefs. The USPS tried to accommodate him, but said the accommodations were creating additional work for others and tension among employees. Mr. Groff was eventually disciplined for missing Sunday shifts. He sued, arguing the USPS violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act because it discriminated against his religious beliefs.
The Court later ruled that an employer denying a religious accommodation must show that the burden of doing so would result in substantial increased costs in the conduct of its business.
