Groff involved a postal worker’s claim the United States Postal Service (USPS) violated Title VII by refusing to accommodate his request not to work on Sundays. The plaintiff, Groff, claimed his religious beliefs preclude him from working on Sundays. When he first began working for the USPS his job did not require Sunday work, but within a few years, that changed, and Groff was informed he would be required to work Sundays. Groff transferred to a smaller location that did not make Sunday deliveries, but eventually that location also began making these deliveries.
