Under the April 10 appeals ruling, the TA must reinstate the complainant, an Orthodox Jewish bus driver who was fired for refusing to work on Saturdays. Rhine said that, in addition, he must be given all back pay and scheduled for a tour of duty that does not conflict with his religious observances. The TA also is required to conform to a non-discrimi- natory policy hereafter in which "no person is to be disqualified from obtaining or holding employment be- cause of his observance of a Sabbath or other holy day in accordance with the re- quirements of his religion," Rhine said. The case was filed under the New York State Execu- tive Law which generally re- quires employers to make accommodation to Sabbath observers except for very limited situations.
