With many religious holidays taking place over the next two months, employers will likely see many requests for time off for religious celebrations. Employers may wish to review their religious accommodation request procedures, leave policies, scheduling process, and related practices to ensure that managers do not engage in religious discrimination when they approve or deny leave requests.
