An employee can choose to modify their work availability. This person could speak to the employer, update their availability to exclude any scheduling on Sunday(assuming Christian services), for the entire day, or just during the time that the person wants to attend services.
The employer could try to terminate the employee on the basis that they were hired based on their availability at the time of hire. That argument is not valid, as employee change availability all the time for a variety of reasons.
More likely, it might just open the dialog for compromise, providing an opportunity for your friend to ask for every other Sunday off, etc.

No, that doesn't conflict with the first ammendment. An employer doesn't have to compromise with you over your religion at all. The only thing that they have to worry about, is treating you bad because you go to church. That would be a violation of the Civil Rights act of 1964.
Hope this helps,

Freedom of speech protection isn't all encompassing. If it were then human beings the following ought to brazenly allow you to comprehend what they seen you (assuming the more severe for sure) and it does not be deleted. Freedoms, of speech or of a few thing, are to be exercised responsibly and human beings have the duty to finish that. that doesn't advise they could't say what they prefer yet together you won't be able to yell "fireplace" in a crowded theatre and then conceal in the back of your 1st change rights if anybody is killed in the stampede to get out.

The First Amendment applies only to gov't restrictions on religious practices. If you don't like your company's work policies, then look for another job. If your employer treats all workers equally, then you do not have a discrimination claim.

Probably not, the first amendment gives you the freedom to practice your religion of choice without interference from the government- it does not necessarily protect you from a private employer. However, your employer cannot discriminate against you because of your religion. This area of the law gets trickier...

The US Supreme Court ruled years ago that "employers are not obligated to accomidate employees desire(s) to attend religious functions.....nor are employers required to make work schedules fit such desires....."(paraphrasing)

Very much so indeed. Employers aren't supposed to know your religion anyway.

no it isn't. contrary to common belief the bill of rights does not cover interactions between common citizens. your employer has no duty to accommodate your religious beliefs. either get used to it or quit.
