Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, an employer may satisfy its heightened burden, established by the Supreme Court's decision in Groff v. DeJoy, of demonstrating "undue hardship" and thereby denying a religious accommodation request without conducting any individualized assessment of the employee's specific circumstances or meaningfully exploring alternative accommodations, and based solely on a generalized, aggregate theoretical risk.
