Sally Sanders and George Hussain work together at 521 Café. George is a practising Muslim and one of his daily prayer times is at 12.30pm. He has an alarm set on his phone to remind him to pray. On Tuesday 20th August, his alarm went off while serving a customer and he walked out leaving the customer with Sally to continue serving. Sally was angry because she had just finished serving her customers and was rostered for her lunch break. She has complained to the manager that she had already worked over the required hours to have a break and George had only just started work at 12pm.
As the manager, how would you handle this situation?
