K.B. runs this small department. She received approval to hire another medical ethicist to relieve the workload of the other ethicists who have a five-day workweek plus rotating on-call shifts nights and weekends. K.B. interviewed R.G. for the job. During the interview, she explained to R.G. that the on-call rotation was 5 pm to 8 am, Monday through Thursday, and weekends Friday at 5 pm through Monday at 8 am. K.B. emphasized how crucial it was for each ethicist to commit to their call schedule. K.B. acknowledged that she understood. After a successful interview, K.B. offered R.G. the job, and R.G. accepted. One week before she was to begin working, R.G. sent an email to K.B. requesting religious accommodation:

step number twelve, which states: “Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we

Gwendolyn I. Cooper v. Oak Rubber Company 15 F.3d 1375 (6th Cir 1994) case supports our recommendation of litigation because Cooper could not establish prima facie case of discrimination, that Oak reasonably accommodated her religious beliefs. The district court concluded that Oak could not have relieved Cooper all Saturday work responsibility without suffering undue hardship, i.e., the need to hire another employee or a resulting loss of production.

In the scripture, it is very clear that Shania needs to include Christian believers as business partners. Paul tells us, “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness (2 Corinthians 6:14, ESV) ?” Forming a business partnership with a nonbeliever would be unwise because Christian practices will not be to importance of them. It is important when forming a business partnership that your partner acts in good faith and does what is best for the business. If the partner does something that is not a representation of the business mission, Shania will be liable. Shania wants “The Gathering Place” based off Religious and moral decisions. If she has the desire to have a business based around biblical practices, she must have employees with Christian

Ramona, California, the simply heart-warming town on the outskirts of San Diego County, should be on the list of sites to see when visiting San Diego. With a friendly face on every corner to a historically rural town, Ramona is an under-rated place that should not be overlooked.

Valerie I agree that it is wise to have faith in God even from a business standpoint. It is often hard in today’s society though to put God first in the decision making. I remember back in 2012 when Chick-fil-A was going through a hard time because one of the chief operating officers (Dan Cathy) made a remark about opposing same-sex marriage. He has his right to state an opinion but having friends that are lesbian and gay I had to side with my friends. The remarks seemed to come from a place of hate and he offended so many people by his statement. I do believe that Christians should not hide their beliefs but sometimes in a business setting one person who states an opinion could wreck the business and ultimately leave a Christian owned company

Chick- Fil- A has extremely stringent hiring process, they are very pro Christian company even to the point of being closed on Sunday casing them over 500 million dollars a year according to forbes.com. Some of Chick-Fil-A former employees have sued them for discrimination. I believe this ex-employees shouldn’t be able to sue chick-fil-a because they know what the company stood for before they started working there. The CEO of Chick-Fil-A has stated he is looking for married candidates which he believes are more industrious, loyal, and wholesome and treat their families

Biographical information about the author Sapphire, also known as Ramona Lofton, is an American author best known for her first novel Push, which also was adapted into the Academy Award nominee, Precious. Sapphire was the child of an army couple who often relocated. Much like her character, Precious, her father, a US army sergeant, sexually abused her when she was eight. Although she dropped out of high school, she received her G.E.D and an MFA degree. She then become a performance artist and poet before writing Push and its semi-sequel, The Kid.

On July 16, 2012 Chick-Fil-A’s biblical worldview and business ethics were thrust into the media spotlight when the organization’s CEO and President, Dan Cathy made remarks to a radio host Ken Coleman that America was “inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage’ and I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity

Under the title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination. Discrimination of basis of sex, race, color, national origin, or religion. If a profit corporation have religious beliefs they will be able to argue they have the right to side-step Title VII and, for example, hire only those who sign a “statement of faith” or share the same religious

A closely held corporation owned by a family who are members of the Assemblies of God church argued that paying for employee’s birth control violated their company conscious. The court decided that the company could be given a tax credit by the government in order so that there is less of a burden on the corporation. This case, Burwell v Hobby Lobby was controversial and the dissent, written by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, was interesting as well. She argued that no prior case recognizes a for-profit corporation to be exempt for a generally applicable law. She urged the court to stay out of weighing of religious claims and found no proof of a substantial burden on the corporation. She also argued that corporations are artificial beings existing only in contemplation of law so they have no conscious or

Recently, there have been multiple situations in which privately owned companies and small businesses have been in court, the defendants in civil suits for discrimination based on their religious beliefs. This paper will address four main topics; are these companies? religious rights protected by legislature? Is a company entitled to be religious and to provide or deny services based on their religion? At what point does the organization?s religion override legislature and vice versa. Finally, how does an ethical issue affect the business, the performance of the business, and the stakeholders of the business?

Even if the company follows religious rules, and admits to follow them, it has to stay neutral on sensitive questions. For example, some time ago, the founder of the company, Truett Cathy said that “you don’t have to be a Christian to work at Chick-fil-A […] we ask you to base your business on Biblical principles because they work”, (The Economist, 2012). There is no problem with this type of declaration because it stays neutral even if the founder admits that she follows some religious rules, she did not neglect or offense anyone, also because she provides a clear explanation of the reason behind this policy. And her son should have act in the same way, in staying out of this debate because the business in itself does not have any implication with it, it is only a personal

The First Amendment also promotes the freedom to associate. On the off chance that a man relates socially just with individuals from his or her own religion, that is a secured decision. Be that as it may, Employment is not social; it is financial. It is out of line for a business to pick its workers on the premise of their religious inclination. How is this inclination work related? It is definitely not. Employers should respect the rights of employees to worship as they please on their own time and, if possible, should reasonably accommodate their employees to enable them to do so (Moran, 2014). I would need to say that the business should have obliged Paul to go to the meeting for prayer to

Unfortunately for this counselor, her religious beliefs cost her employment with the agency. According to the facts of the case presented in the excerpt from Corey, Corey, and Callanan (2007), “a court case involving a therapist’s refusal to counsel homosexual clients” (pp. 138-141), Bruff should be held liable for any emotional harm she caused to the client. As set forth in the National Association of Social Workers, Code of Ethics of the National Association of Social Workers, (2008), social workers are ethically required to help people in need and address any social setbacks or problems.
