Prueba de ello es la sentencia STC 19/1985 del Tribunal Constitucional español, que establece que el otorgamiento de un descanso semanal distinto en base a creencia religiosa supondría una excepcionalidad razonable, pero su imposición no es imperativa para el empresario. El acomodamiento tampoco es obligatorio para los tribunales canadienses, ya que esta obligación de acomodar debe ajustarse a los límites de la "razonabilidad". Aun cuando aunque se puedan esgrimir diversos motivos justificados para la no concesión del acomodamíento, los tribunales canadienses optan por la imposición de este deber legal con el fin de reconciliar las exigencias de la práctica religiosa y las necesidades del mercado laboral. Teniendo en cuenta que el acomodamiento no se produce espontáneamente y que no basta la buena fe en las relaciones laborales, es aconsejable buscar buenas prácticas en el derecho comparado para hacer frente a este tipo de conflictos.Universidad de Deusto = Deustuko Unibertsitatea: Instituto de Derechos Humanos Pedro Arrupe2011text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=3850303(Revista) ISSN 1885-298XAnuario de acción humanitaria y derechos humanos = Yearbook of humanitarian action and human rights, ISSN 1885-298X, Nº. 8, 2011, pags. 55-70engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.

description
The Canadian case-Iaw figure of reasonable accommodation has not found a favourable reception in the Spanish Case-Iaw. Proof of this is the STC 19/1985 judgement of the Spanish Constitutional Court, which affirms that the giving of a different weekly rest beca use of a religious belief would be a reasonable exception, but it is not imperative for the entrepreneur to grant it. Accommodation is not compulsory neither for Canadian courts, since this obligation to accommodate must be within the limits of "reasonability". Even if several justified reasons can be put forward to refuse the accommodation, Canadian courts opt for the imposition of this legal duty to reconcile religious practice demands with labour market needs. Taking into consideration that accommodation does not happen spontaneously and that bona fide in labour relations is not enough, it is advisable to look for good practices in comparative Law to deal with this kind of conflicts.
