Religious Leaves Sample Clauses

The Religious Leaves clause establishes an employee's right to take time off from work for religious observances or practices. Typically, this clause outlines the process for requesting such leave, any notice requirements, and whether the leave is paid or unpaid. For example, it may allow employees to use vacation days or unpaid leave to observe religious holidays not recognized as public holidays. The core function of this clause is to ensure that employees can fulfill their religious obligations without facing workplace discrimination or penalty, thereby promoting inclusivity and compliance with anti-discrimination laws.
