Religious Reasonable Accommodations | Human Resources

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 requires employers to reasonably accommodate the religious practice of an employee or prospective employee, unless to do so would cause an undue hardship to the employer.  

A reasonable religious accommodation is any adjustment to the work environment that will allow an employee to practice their religious beliefs.  This applies not only to schedule changes or leave for religious observances, but also to such things as dress or grooming practices that an employee has for religious reasons. 

The University of South Alabama is committed to nondiscrimination and employment of qualified individuals. It is the applicant or employee’s responsibility to request an accommodation. The University’s Human Resources department has been designated to coordinate the requests of applicants and employees for reasonable workplace accommodations.
