Sec.  60-50.3  Accommodations to religious observance and practice.

    An employer must accommodate to the religious observances and 
practices of an employee or prospective employee unless the employer 
demonstrates that it is unable to reasonably accommodate to an 
employee's or prospective employee's religious observance or practice 
without undue hardship on the conduct of the employer's business. As 
part of this obligation, an employer must make reasonable accommodations 
to the religious observances and practices of an employee or prospective 
employee who regularly observes Friday evening and Saturday, or some 
other day of the week, as his Sabbath and/or who observes certain 
religious holidays during the year and who is conscientiously opposed to 
performing work or engaging in similar activity on such days, when such 
accommodations can be made without undue hardship on the conduct of the 
employer's business. In determining the extent of an employer's 
obligations under this section, at least the following factors shall be 
considered: (a) Business necessity, (b) financial costs and expenses, 
and (c) resulting personnel problems.
