It is hard to determine the direct impact of religious activities on productivity without gaining insight from the employee. Depending on how involved the employee is with their religious activities and how it may interfere with task completion, symptoms such as reduced focus, decreased speed/accuracy of work, distraction, absenteeism or late arrivals at work can point to a negative impact on productivity. Open communication with your employee is recommended to understand their religious practices and identify any possible challenges it may cause in completing tasks at work. You could also consider implementing flexible scheduling practices to accommodate employees observing religious holidays outside of regular working hours if required. Furthermore, if their religious activities take up a large portion of their workday or have any effects on job performance then intervening through policies should be considered; this could include allowing unpaid leave or alterations in schedule arrangement to minimize disruption while still meeting core organizational requirements.

As an employer, you have a right to inquire if you suspect an employee's religious activities during work hours are negatively impacting their productivity. You can ask questions like whether the employee is able to meet deadlines, if they are attending scheduled meetings or conferences related to their job and if the activities interfere with completing necessary tasks. Additionally, observe any changes in the quality of work or amount of time put into tasks and communicate with your team member directly to get an understanding of what may be affecting their performance.
