hey can you post here a draft of the religious exception?
I will not give you my exact answers. I do not want it to be searched and found by the company I work for, but I will summarize. I have an odd spirituality that I kinda blended all kinds of stuff together from the time when I was a teen and feeling things out, so I don't belong to a labeled religion, but I did not lie about anything in my exemption. I do believe these things.
I can give you the questions they asked. We also have the flu vax required. I used to fight that every year by arguing that I was remote and saying I'd wear a mask if I was sent into a facility, but now they wrapped that into the mandate.
Please explain the religious belief, observance, or practice that prevents you from getting the COVID-19/Influenza vaccine.
Please describe the specific conflict between your religious belief, observance or practice and the vaccines. In your response, please identify the specific reasons the vax requirement causes conflict.
Please provide any info that will help us determine that your belief is sincerely held. Does this belief affect any other aspect of your life? Provide details you feel are relevant.
Please identify any job accommodations(s) that you believe would resolve the conflict between your religious belief, observance, or practice. Be as specific as possible.
In regard to the last question, did you agree to testing if required?
I left it vague, hoping it wouldn't come to it and I could fight it if I needed to by saying it's invasive...
All right, yeah. My exemption letter just mentions vaccines but I sure as hell won’t be testing either.
The requirement to list an accommodation is the scariest one, because employers have the right to fire you if your religious beliefs cannot be reasonably accommodated.
And it's the most subjective. Even if you believe what the CDC says about the vaccine fully, the risk posed by a single unvaccinated individual in a room full of vaccinated individuals is insignificant. Certainly less significant than other risks a person is expected to accept by existing. So a reasonable accommodation should not be needed.
This is the type of thing that is argued and often won in decent courts. But someone needs to sue and set precedent.
This is exactly what I thought of, except I would take it a step further. I haven't even so much as been to a doctor or taken a prescription medication in my adult life.
In truth, would I go to a doctor if the need arises? Probably, but giving into that strong temptation for a wordly fix does not invalidate my religious beliefs, anymore than saying having premarital sex after being surprised makes someone less Christian.
