1) Under Title VII the employer doesn’t have to resolve conflict in the way the employee wants. According to the book, the employer can discriminate against an employee for religious reasons if it causes undue hardships (490).

It doesn’t matter if Clarissa doesn’t like the way the headmaster implements the accommodations, as long as the headmaster provides accommodations.

According to the Pam Huber v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. case, one reads that Pam Huber was switched from her current job, as a dry grocery order filler due to the fact that she injured herself at work and therefore was unable to fulfill her requirements. Due to this dilemma at work, Pam Huber was classified under the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 and was “sought, as a reasonable accommodation, reassignment to a router position” (Morgan, p.413), which Wal-Mart believes fits the working criteria’s of a disabled person registered under the American with Disabilities Act of 1990. This position that one reads about that Pam Huber was given by Wal-Mart, meets Pam Huber’s work abilities due to her disability registered under the American with Disabilities Act of 1990.

The Court held that failing to accommodate a potential employee or an employee was enough to bring up a disparate treatment claim. It held that in order to make a claim based on disparate impact the plaintiff needs only to prove that the need for accommodation was the motive behind the employer’s refusal to hire them, not whether the employer knew about this need. Therefore, the Court determined that rather than imposing a knowledge standard, like the 10th Circuit Court did, motive was enough to violate Title VII since Abercrombie knew or suspected that Elauf wore the headscarf for religious reasons and did not want to accommodate her. “An employer may not make an applicant’s religious practice, confirmed or otherwise, a factor in employment decisions” (EEOC v.
