Wut?

*The Company* is also not requiring employees to disclose their vaccination status. Given that vaccination choices, willingness to disclose vaccination status and desire to continue wearing a mask or socially distance even if fully vaccinated are personal decisions, employees are reminded to be respectful of their colleagues’ privacy and choices. However, in order to avoid wearing a mask, employees must voluntarily provide proof of their fully vaccinated status to Human Resources by presenting an authorized COVID-19 vaccination card.
Wouldn't an employee continuing to wear a mask be a good indicator of someone who has NOT gotten the vaccine under this policy, and therefore an inadvertent means of mandating that employees let other know they are unvaccinated?

I have no issue with that. I have an issue with showing them that I qualify for no social distancing, and no mask, but they then require that I share my medical information with others to have those benefits. It creates different benefits for different classes of employees.
I agree that it sucks, but I don't think it crosses any legal line.
Also, are there still a lot of companies requiring this? I don't see it much now.

I think the other, and equally concerning, question is: Is this a company you really want to work for? They are clearly pandering to fear and intentionally stigmatizing those who don't conform to their social principles.
When it became obvious my previous employer's values and political correctness were no longer in alignment with my own, I left with quickness and found a new career. It turned out to be the best move I have ever made.

Seems to be a slight conflict in the rules, but it's also clear employers can bar and/or terminate employees who refuse to get vaccinated.
Or form a union with your co-workers, put some signs together and start marching, "No Justice! No Peace!"

We may work for the same company. Ours has the same exact moronic policy.

GTFOH with this bullshite. Getting a shot to get a sticker in the past did not have the same conditions attached to it like today.

I refuse the sticker every year because it’s dumb.

Hospitals have been doing this for years. In fact a hospital around here will withhold raises from employees who opt out of getting a seasonal flu shot.

My company has a similar policy, but no sticker yet. When someone mentions getting vaccinated I say "oh naturally" and they assume I got the vaccine. In reality I had Covid and have tested positive for the antibodies twice.

In our case, requiring vaccinations as a condition of employment violates the union contract that was just signed and ratified.

Trying to force the vaccine or else you'll wear the mask like a scarlett letter.

They do not mandate that I tell all of my coworkers whether I received it or not, nor do they require that I wear a badge stating that I did.
That was what the OP was asking about.
Does the requiring of a badge or sticker stating that you got the shot a violation of EEOC/ADA laws.

Scruffy should read the email again and ponder the meaning of “may” versus “shall”.

All fine and dandy, but OP asked about the legalities of it not whether it was sound or fair policy.
You sure a Louisiana personal injury lawyer from a tier 4 law school should opine on state and federal employment law issues?
