When a cook in North Carolina was hired by an IHOP restaurant, he informed his boss that he didn't work on Sundays for religious reasons. This man's wish was honored until new management took over.
When the cook refused to work on Sunday, his new manager fired him. This cook sued IHOP and he recently received a $40,000 settlement for IHOP's violations of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
In addition, IHOP was required to train their staff on employee religious rights.
Exodus 35:2 teaches, "For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a day of sabbath rest to the Lord."
If you're an employer, remember that your employees have rights to their religious beliefs and are required to be accommodated.
