COVID-19 religious accommodation administration services

Many companies are mandated by federal or state law to require COVID-19 vaccines as a condition of employment. Additionally, companies are deploying mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policies to ensure the health and safety of their workforce. As a result, employees who have chosen not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine for religious or medical reasons are requesting accommodations. Determining whether a request for accommodation meets EEOC guidelines for a medical or sincerely held religious belief can be challenging.

We work with your organization to ensure accommodations are only made if it will not pose an undue hardship to the business.
