Seventh Day Adventist Required To Work On Saturdays May Proceed On Breach of Contract Claim

In Webster v. Dolgencorp, LLC, (D NJ, Aug. 22, 2013), a New Jersey federal district court permitted a Seventh Day Adventist who sued complaining that his Dollar General Store employer refused to accommodate his refusal to work on Saturdays to proceed on his claims for breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. However it held that plaintiff had not so far plead adequate facts to support a Title VII hostile work environment claim.  Several other claims were dismissed on statute of limitations grounds. Courthouse News Service reports on the decision.
