Haw. Code R. § 12-46-154 - Reasonable accommodation
(a) After an
employee or prospective employee notifies the employer or other covered entity
of his or her need for a religious accommodation, the employer or other covered
entity shall reasonably accommodate the individual's religious practices. A
refusal to accommodate is justified only when an employer or other covered
entity can demonstrate that an undue hardship would result from each available
alternative method of accommodation. A mere assumption that many more people,
with the same religious practices as the person being accommodated, may also
need accommodation is not evidence of undue hardship.
(b) When there is more than one method of
accommodation available which would not cause undue hardship, the commission
will determine whether the accommodation offered is reasonable by examining:
(1) The alternatives for accommodation
considered by the employer or other covered entity; and
(2) The alternatives for accommodation, if
any, actually offered to the individual requiring accommodation.
