Wilbur Toledo, Plaintiff-Appellant/cross-Appellee v. Nobel-Sysco, Inc., Defendant-Appellee/cross-Appellant

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that an offer was not “unconditional” for purposes of Title VII because the offer “was conditioned on [the employee] dropping his claim, as well as his passing a polygraph test and physical examination.”
• holding that an employer who has made no efforts to accommodate the religious beliefs of an employee or applicant before taking action against him may only prevail if it shows that no accommodation could have been made without undue hardship
• finding Defendant’s argument that it would incur increased risk of tort liability for hiring a driver who uses peyote in religious ceremonies too speculative
• finding a Title VII violation where the defendant “rejected [plaintiff] based solely on his religious practices without an attempt to accommodate him”
• employer bears statutory burden to accommodate; employee’s duty to cooperate is irrelevant until employer satisfies its initial obligation
• settlement offer extended after refusal to hire does not qualify as a reasonable accommodation
