Passover is April 11-12 this year. My Jewish accountant wants to take it off however we have policy you cannot use PTO during tax season.

Title VII commands that covered employers (those having at least 15 employees) make "a reasonable accommodation" to the religious practices of their employees. The Supreme Court has said that this can only require an employer to bear a "slight burden." If it requires more than a slight burden, the accommodation is not reasonable, and it is not necessary.  The determination is to be made on a case-by-case basis. I would need to know a little more about your firm. I can see how it might impose a greater burden on a smaller firm to accommodate the Passover preference of a Jewish accountant than it would for a larger firm lie E&Y.    Michael A.
