GROFF V. DEJOY ***(MUST KNOW)*** Answer - - Gerald Groff is a Christian
and U.S. Postal Service worker. He refused to work on Sundays due to his
religious beliefs. USPS offered to find employees to swap shifts with him, but
on numerous occasions, no co-worker would swap, and Groff did not work.
USPS subsequently fired him.
, - Groff sued USPS under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, claiming USPS
failed to reasonably accommodate his religion because the shift swaps did not
fully eliminate the conflict. The district court concluded the requested
accommodation would pose an undue hardship on USPS and granted summary
judgment for USPS. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed.
- Title VII requires an employer that denies a religious accommodation to show
that the burden of granting an accommodation would result in substantial
increased costs in relation to the conduct of its particular business. Justice
Samuel Alito authored the opinion for the unanimous Court.
VANCE V. BALL STATE ***(MUST KNOW)*** Answer - The central issue of the
case was whether the accused, Davis, qualified as a supervisor, as this
distinction was crucial in determining the level of liability Ball State University
would bear. The Supreme Court ruled that an employer can be held vicariously
liable for an employee's unlawful harassment only if the harasser is a
supervisor with the authority to take tangible employment actions against the
victim. Since Davis did not have the authority to take such actions, the court
found that Ball State University could not be held liable for her conduct. This
decision clarified the definition of a "supervisor" in cases of workplace
harassment, impacting future discrimination and harassment lawsuits.
Vance v. Ball State Supervisor Answer - - Deals with who classifies as a
supervisor
- Supervisor is somebody who can take away tangible employment action
Forms of Discrimination Answer - - disparate treatment
- disparate impact (Adverse Impact)
- Retaliation against protected activity
