I work for one of the largest government contracted defense companies in the US and they finally released their Covid vaccine requirements yesterday.
What shocked me the most was the requirement for Remote Workers. I know of a few coworkers who have been remote workers for more than 5 years and do not interact physically with other employees...at all. Those people plus the additional 70% of our workforce who work from home since Covid, are now being forced to take the shot or submit an ACCOMMODATION...not "Exemption", which will have to be approved by higher ups.
I have no idea how they plan to prove ones religious accommodation, but i have a feeling they will not make this easy and possibly still give "accommodated" employees more hoops to jump through to even work.
I have been remote for 15 years, 11 with the company I'm currently at and they still mandated it. I got my religious exemption approved yesterday. Apparently they asked my manager if being if it was okay for me to not be vaxxed. Seriously?
If you file a religious exemption do not mention anything scientific or about the dangers or injuries. You do not have to mention the denomination, just your beliefs. Do not mention bodily autonomy even if that is part of your religious beliefs. You can have had other vaccines and just become religious yesterday, so don't let them intimidate you.
Anyway, don't bother with medical exemptions. They denied mine, although I did ask the doctor to be vague because I don't want to be discriminated against for my previous vaccine injuries. They stated that it has to be something the CDC says is a contraindiction. So I assume that is nearly impossible.
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?
