The issue, Corbin said, was how to interpret"undue hardship." Previously, it was a simple standard to meet, therefore making it easy for employers to refuse to provide religious accommodations.

An employer might have to spend money accommodating the employee, for example, which was not the case beforehand. Another line in the opinion that caught her eye relates to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission , which reads:"Accordingly, today's clarification may prompt little, if any, change in the agency's guidance explaining why no undue hardship is imposed by temporary costs, voluntary shift swapping, occasional shift swapping, or administrative costs.
