Committee asks legal review on converting Religious Accommodation policy to procedure
Summary
HR will verify with county counsel whether the Religious Accommodation Policy can be eliminated and converted into an internal procedure; committee deferred action pending attorney guidance.
The committee discussed the Religious Accommodation Policy and directed HR Generalist Julie Griffis to check with the county attorney whether the policy can be eliminated and replaced by an internal procedure. The draft identifies Title VII and the Michigan Elliott‑Larsen Civil Rights Act as legal authorities for reasonable accommodation.
No vote was recorded; committee action is limited to requesting legal guidance on whether the policy should remain in the Personnel Policy Manual or be converted into a procedure.
