I just want to ask a straight question without starting a religious debate!
If a person takes a job which means travelling to different areas on a daily basis as and when required , what is the position if that person refuses to go at certain times because of their religion.
The reason I am asking is that the person has to attend prayers in Dublin at lunchtime every Friday, thus can not do any far calls on that day. The person is attending the prayer service through their own lunch time, so thats not an issue. Its causing friction in the workplace as some of the other staff feel they are getting the short straw. If a call comes in on a Thursday for say, Limerick, Cork or Belfast which will possibly result in whoever deals with it being late back on Friday one person just wont go, even though it could be their turn. Can anyone suggest a solution.
Can he just be told, its your turn, you have to do the call this week, or is it more complicated than that.
