By Eric Yoder Eric Yoder National reporter focusing on internal federal government personnel, management and budget policies Email Bio Follow May 1 at 6:00 AM Federal agencies generally would have to approve requests from their employees to change their work schedules for religious observances under new rules that spell out what is required of both the employee and the agency.
While the old rules applied only where the employee’s personal religious beliefs “require” that the employee be off from work for religious reasons, the new ones say that an absence from work “need not be officially mandated by a religious organization to which the employee belongs.” “Agency officials are not charged with determining whether an employee’s belief is the correct interpretation of a religious creed,” it added. “It is sufficient that the employee’s sincerely held personal religious beliefs cause the employee to feel an obligation that he or she should be absent from work for a religious purpose.”
