Can I refuse to work for personal or religious reasons?

There should be a clear understanding in the contract about your hours of work and your time off, including holidays and vacations. Before you sign a contract, you and your employer should agree to time-off requirements to deal with any personal or special matters. You have the right to refuse duties that are not in your contract.
