Question3

If iam going to support the employer situation, in a broad analysis of the case at EEOC lawsuit process employer stated that jennifer webb frequently aking permissions and time adjustments for her child needs and religious causes.

Any employer of the companies do not allow such manner of their manpower because if the management is favourable to one employee it causes harmful reactions to the remaining employees.

All the employees start asking permissions and schedules according to individual needs which leads to mis schedules and poor performance at work because lack of sufficient manpower at work place.

Also it is very tough to schedule shifs and causes to put effort of one employee in case of extending shift period because absence of antoher employee

so controlling the employees from asking such permissions is vital to the management but resonding should not be quite misbehave towards employees simply follow strict rule on cutting payment according to the timings of absence to all the employees equally.
