Section: Time Away From Work Religious Observances
Federal and state equal opportunity laws generally require employers to accommodate the religious beliefs of employees, but do not require them to provide paid leave. Core, LLC respects your religious beliefs and therefore will provide 1 day of un-paid leave to employees who, for religious reasons, must be away from the office on days of normal operation.
Beyond this, we must reconcile employees’ religious obligations with the requirements of running a business and serving customers. Supervisors will authorize schedule changes and/or additional use of vacation leave or unpaid leave, only where the requested arrangement, in the supervisor’s judgment, neither prevents the requesting employee from meeting the requirements of the job nor unfairly burdens other employees.
Employees who need time off for religious observance should request leave from their supervisors at least two weeks in advance. Time off is granted only with prior approval, but will not be unreasonably withheld.
