"Religious Discrimination Lawsuit Against Marriott Vacations: EEOC Seeks Back Pay and Punitive Damages"

[!CDATA[A lawsuit was filed in Florida against Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation and Marriott Ownership Resorts by a former employee who claimed she was forced to work on her Sabbath, despite receiving an exemption for two years due to her Seventh-Day Adventist beliefs. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed the religious discrimination lawsuit after failing to reach a settlement with the company. The employee disclosed her religious beliefs during the hiring process and was initially granted an exemption from working on Saturdays. However, new managers later scheduled her to work on Saturdays, leading to her resignation in June 2023. The lawsuit alleges that the company failed to provide reasonable religious accommodation, retaliated against the employee, and constructively discharged her. The EEOC is seeking back pay and punitive damages on behalf of the former employee.]]
