It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against an employee on the ground of religious conviction by refusing the employee permission to carry out a religious practice during working hours, being a practice—

        (a)     of a kind recognised as necessary or desirable by people of the same religious conviction as that of the employee; and

        (b)     the performance of which during working hours is reasonable having regard to the circumstances of the employment; and

        (c)     that does not subject the employer to unreasonable detriment.
