Cory Chavis, a member of the Apostolic Pentecostal Church who observed the Sabbath on Sundays by, among other things, refraining from work, was employed as an asset protection manager (APM) at the Walmart store in Suffern, New York. For approximately six years, Chavis was able to arrange her schedule to avoid working on Sundays.

In March 2013, however, Walmart changed its policy to require APMs to work every third Sunday. Chavis requested an accommodation not to work on Sundays due to her religious observance. She said that her request was not granted and that she was told that she could use vacation days to avoid working on Sundays or find another position that did not require any Sunday work.
