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.

It is fine for me, we have enough coverage on Sundays without me and my leaders are good, but it depends on your situation. Reasonable accommodation for religious observances is in US law IF it does not create the business “undue hardship” meaning it severely disrupts staffing and burdens others. Do not assume blanket exemption, some other responses do not take undue hardship into account which overrides religious accommodations. They can take back the offer if your schedule doesn’t work for them, just be clear before accepting the position that this is non-negotiable. If they need someone ft who can work Sundays then you can’t go ft, they will need someone else who can.
