As I am a Pagan (Druid, to be precise), if they tried to do that to me I'd just tell them that it was part of my religious practice. It worked for my life insurance.

Their company-their rules. You are free to come and go as you please, so your attendance dictates you will comply with whatever policies they set forth as long as they are legal. They roll the dice that they'll still maintain the quality and quantity of employees to get the job done.

I won't work for an employer who dictates what I do & how I should live on my own time.
