PLEASE READ THIS
Absolutely DO NOT TRY FOR A MEDICAL EXEMPTION
You will get denied.
I recently met with a lawyer who specifically said not to submit a medical AND religious exemption.
ONLY SUBMIT A RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION
Anyone who tells you differently is completely uninformed.
Religion is considered a “protected class” under the civil rights act. Medical stuff is not.
So what you need to do is write a religious exemption in your own words—one that is SINCERE.
Employers can reject your letter if they discover you copy&pasted from a template.
IT MUST BE SINCERE
Please head this warning. My mother in law was rejected because she submitted a medical exemption before her religious exemption. She was fired.
Raise your hand if you find this to be just freaking SURREAL?!
Both hands way up, but not in surrender. I will fight until I'm fired.
Hand is up. It's all been surreal but I promise it's real.
