re: Religious Discrimination- Vaccine Related

Wow.
I work for a large company (100K+). We had over 10K requests for religious exemptions. IDK of anyone who was denied. And then our company just cancelled the whole deal.
If you sue and win, what then? I assume you would get some settlement and your job back? Do you really want your old job back?

Ummmm, if only the Supreme Court would rule on vaccine mandates. Oh wait they did. Sue your employer.

I’ve been in management for a large company for over a decade. I suspect they were looking for a reason to let you go anyway and you gave them their opportunity.
Been there a few times w shitty employees.

If your company is STILL letting people go over the vax (after the SC decision and worldwide backlash against mandates), then they are Covid True Believers and beyond saving.
How’s your manager feel? Is this just HR?
Take the severance and move on. Even if some type of challenge was successful, do you really want to stay working there with the inevitable bad blood?

14 weeks severance? Sounds like a good reason to go fishing for a few days to contemplate.
Take it and run, do you really want to be associated with that company now they are showing their true colors?

No, at the end of the day, I just want more of a 6 month severance. It’s currently taking 6-9 months to find a job of equal opportunity, and there are not many positions in my line of work. I’d never want to work for this company again. Just looking for a little more to keep me afloat while I start the job hunt.

(1) False. They ruled on whether or not the mandate could be enjoined pending litigation. Part of the ruling is that the mandate is likely unconstitutional. But no such concrete ruling was made.
(2) The ruling concerned government mandates. No federal constitutional provision prohibits private employers from having vaccine mandates. A federal constitutional violation requires government action.
The OP could see a lawyer, but I think he would have an uphill battle in an EEOC case. If he thinks he can get another equivalent job quickly he may want to move on. If he has any thoughts of suing he needs to have a lawyer review the severance agreement as it may have waivers of certain claims.
He could also consider trying to negotiate the severance. They may give him 26 weeks.

I’ve tried negotiating hoping for 6 months plus my vacation and sick leave paid out. They will not budge. Or I should say they have gone from 12 weeks to 14 weeks.
Posted on 2/16/22 at 7:43 am to SportsmanParadise
Tell them you are getting a lawyer unless they give you 6 months. It will cost them that much in legal fees even if they win. I’d make them feel the pain just for fun at this point.

I believe that you did the right thing. One of my coworkers is currently hospitalized with complications from the vaccine. The labor market is in your favor in terms of finding new employment.
Posted on 2/16/22 at 8:39 am to Wallace Ritchie
But then I question how much this will cost me in legal fees, vs what you settle with at the end. Am I back at square one?
Posted on 2/16/22 at 8:48 am to SportsmanParadise
A $200 consult with a lawyer can get that question answered.

I have actually consulted with more than one attorney, and I feel like I am getting a mixed bag of thoughts on it. When there is no guarantee on any type of final settlement, do you just take the severance and run? Or try to hire a lawyer to work negotiate a better severance for you?

I don’t think hiring a lawyer to negotiate a severance is worthwhile. Do they have any sort of standard severance policy or can you go back to prior layoffs to see what they’ve given in the past?
That said, you need to be sure to look beyond the immediate issue and be sure there’s not a non-compete clause or what type of non-disclosure agreement is included in the language of the severance. Also, they covering your medical for the severance period?

Tell us more:
Do you like your job?
Are you making good money for your skill level?
How easy to transition to a job that doesn't require the same?
Married/Family?
Not sure EEOC could help you - I assume you are not a protected class.
What are your objections to the vaccine and how strong are they?
There are probably many more I could think of but I have a headache.

I was listening to the radio, Prager gave an account of a list of religious persons and churches discriminating against the unclean. We are in weird times.
One such was in San Fransisco, not too surprising but another was in Atlanta Ga, how far we are falling.

I love my job. Could be making more money. Not married and no kids. It will take at least 6 months to find another job. I contacted the EEOC, but they are overburdened with this, and you cannot even get in there for as long as what their calendar goes out, which is end of September.

Did you request a reasonable accommodation of a religious exemption?
You are granted that right under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act

Depending on your state, they may not owe you a severance at all. They could technically just tell you to get out.
Keep that in mind.
