Question

I observe Shabbat for all the reasons.
Topic: Work on Shabbat
Question: What should I do when, at my workplace, they demand that I provide an urgent response on Shabbat?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

There is absolutely no permission to work on Shabbat. 

You should make it clear to your manager that you observe Shabbat, and that all requests will be handled only after Shabbat, on Saturday night.
