A woman, Marie Jean Pierre, 60, has been awarded $21 million in damages after she was forced to work on Sundays as a dishwasher at a Miami hotel.

Pierre, who started work at the hotel in April 2006, claimed she told her employer that she would be unable to work on Sundays because she was a missionary for the Soldiers of Christ Church, reports The Washington Post.

"I love God. No work on Sunday, because Sunday I honour God,” said the Haitian immigrant.

For most of the time that she was working at the hotel, her religious beliefs were respected and she was allowed her to have Sundays off. However, that changed in October 2015, after a kitchen manager insisted on scheduling her to work on Sundays.


Pierre had her pastor write a letter explaining it would be a violation of her religious beliefs to do secular work on the Sabbath — but the manager allegedly threw it away, according to a copy of a complaint Pierre would later file against the hotel chain.
