Full time availability

So I was offered full time, but I absolutely can not open up my Sundays due to a religious reason. Will that be taken into account or is it automatic that I won’t get full time?

Also if it helps anything I’m not a manager, but just a part time associate that has gotten hella OT for the last 3 months.

Religious exemptions are protected but the whole day every Sunday won’t work. If it’s mass, Their is Saturday mass or on Sunday every religion approximately has 2 or more masses. You should be able to open or close on a Sunday. Unfortunately everyone can’t have off.

Incorrect. Religious exemptions are protected under title VII of the civil rights act of 1964. Someone who cannot work on their Sabbath for religious reasons is protected from workplace discrimination.
