Statutorily, it shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer— (1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual’s . . . religion . . . or (2) to limit, segregate, or classify his employees or applicants for employment in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee, because of such individual’s religion . . . [Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; 42 U.S.C. § 20002-2(a). Bennet – Alexander (2019.

According to title VII, section (j) states the term “religion” as includes all aspects of religious observance and practice as well as beliefs.Considering the case of Jason religious observance to pray several times per day, Jason’s right under title VII civil rights act of 1964 is secured. However, the employer can discriminate against employee for religious reasons; if to do otherwise causes the employee undue hardship. When the employer discovers a religious conflict between the employer’s policy and the employee’s religion, the employer first responsibility is to attempt accommodation. If accommodation is not possible, the employer can implement the policy even though it has the effect of discriminating against the employee on the basis of religion. See Bennet – Alexander (2019) Pg. 547. The duty to accommodate is not a static concept for the employer and the employee. Critically looking at Jason’s case, he was asking for two additional 10 minutes breaks, which denotes, that the employer has previously granted his request of breaks for him to observe his religious practice. Employee’s duty to co-operate in accommodation of what the employer can give is necessary because the protection Title VII provide for employment discrimination on the basis of religion does not mean that the employer must resolve the conflict in the way the employee wants. The employee also must be reasonable in considering accommodation alternatives. 

Jason’s case can be compared to the EEOC v. Firestone Fibers & Textiles Company, that the fourth circuit found that the employer met the accommodation requirement for the employee’s religious belief prohibiting him from working on a Sabbath from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday and seven religious holidays during the year. The employer sought accommodation by altering Friday work shift, where it could and using the collective bargaining agreements seniority system. But, the employee requested 11 additional days to observe two religious holidays and was terminated, when he violated the company’s attendance policy prohibiting taking over 60 hours of unpaid leave. As far as the employer can convince the EEOC and the court that the employer has successfully borne the burden of reasonably accommodating Jason’s religious practice then Jason will not have a case against his employer.

Supply chain managers coordinate all of the activities in the supply chain process into a seamless network. The transportation function of the supply chain focuses on the movement and delivery of goods and services in the supply chain network from suppliers to manufacturers to the ultimate consumers. Decisions must be made as to which mode of transportation is used to move products along with the type of warehousing systems that will be used. Many companies are choosing to outsource their supply chain to companies such as UPS.

Compensation is a controversial workplace topic. Throughout the years, specifically the past decade, average employee wages have not greatly risen. However, managerial and executive pay has steadily increased.

Despite current economic stability and low unemployment rates, U.S. businesses are constrained from raising employee salary and benefits due to low-wage foreign competition.  This week’s readings showcase a case study on pay compression at Envelop City and on how McDonalds uses praise (intrinsic factor) and individual incentive pay (extrinsic factor) to ensure satisfied and happy employees.

Discuss how an organization can motivate its employees to maintain/increase their productivity and performance without significantly increasing employees’ compensation.  Additionally, as a compensation consultant, how would you develop market value for positions within your organization? Propose a compensation plan to ensure that rewards (i.e., wages, benefits, and other compensation) match job duties, tasks, and responsibilities.

Answer the above using the question and answer (Q&A) format.  The Q&A format should include the original question along with your response. Within your post, support your responses with information from at least one peer-reviewed/scholarly source (not older than 3-5 years) from  CSU Global online library or the Internet, and provide the full citation at the end of your post. Use APA guidelines (at the CSU Global Writing Center )  to format your references. Your total word count must be at least 300 words excluding the original questions.
