A Pentecostal store investigator at a Rockland County Walmart says she was harassed by supervisors after insisting she couldn’t work Sundays due to her religious beliefs.
Cory Chavis says in her suit filed in Manhattan Federal Court that in 2013 a new policy required her to work on the Christian Sabbath, which she refused.
Her bosses allegedly refused to give her a religious exemption. After complaining to corporate headquarters Chavis, 40, says she got her way – but that honchos then waged a campaign of retaliation against her.
They allegedly searched her office at the Suffern, NY, location where she works, denied her interviews for open positions and went to extreme lengths to ensure she arrived to work on time.
She seeks damages to be determined.
An inquiry with Walmart’s press office was not returned.
