She will only receive a fraction of that amount, but still quite a bit.

Who says Christianity is under attack?
She should have stayed in her lazy country of Haiti. If she didn’t want to work on a Sunday, there were other jobs that she could have accepted.

And the moral of the story is...never mess with old Caribbean ladies and their church. LOL.

Why should she when this place agreed to her stipulations? They didn't have to, right? Since they did?

No Christian believes in throwing out the Old Testament, because Christ didn't invalidate the Old Testament, he's the fulfillment of it

"Forced" to work on a Sunday?

Only the State still has the power to enslave us peasants and it does so by stealing from us (taxation). Nobody else has the power to force you to do anything.

They chose to break the agreement and fired her for following the original agreement.
Things change in businesses. Didnt someone say say there was new management. I dont think they made an agreement with her. But again, it seems more about a verbal agreement not a religious accommodation.

Of course they do or she would not have won.

My boss hasn't even upheld his written MEMORANDUM stating hours and leave time. And we use to have beer Friday. That all went to chit.
Was "Beer Friday" something you negotiated before accepting the job?

Actually, this will most likely be overturned on appeal. Plus, there is a cap on punitive damages, $300,000.

I think she probably will receive some monetary compensation, but not the amount her lawyer was asking for.
