Workplace Accommodations and
Vaccine Mandates
October 20, 2021
12:30 p.m. - 1:20 p.m.
Zoom Webinar
As mandatory COVID-19 vaccines become more prevalent, many employers are asking what they can do if workers refuse. Some employers are firing workers who won't take the vaccine and others are requiring unvaccinated employees to submit to weekly testing. Under federal, state and local law, employers must provide reasonable accommodations and many employees are asking if they can legally receive exemptions from vaccine mandates. In this course you will learn:
- To articulate the elements of a failure-to-accommodate lawsuit
- To understand the extent that a sincerely held religious belief can be challenged internally by an employer, within the interactive process / cooperative dialogue, and before an administrative / judicial tribunal
- To define an undue hardship, under both Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and NYS Human Rights Law
