Citi group announced today they are requiring the vax for all US employees who work at home or in the office. I've been employed there for almost 30 years and have knowledge that nobody else in the entire company has. Too bad for them.
I could use some pointers on religious exemptions if you guys don't mind helping this guy out.
Here's a template to get you started:
To Whom it May Concern:
I, [insert your name here], declare and invoke my religious exemption from the COVID-19 vaccination mandate.
Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, I attest to having sincerely held personal religious beliefs which will not permit me to abide by this mandate.
Additionally, I am not willing to describe these personal religious beliefs for the reasonable fear that if others have knowledge of them, it may engender discrimination against me and/or my family.
I am aware that reasonable accommodations may have to be made regarding this declaration of religious exemption, and am willing to discuss accommodations that would be necessary and reasonable in order to come to an agreement.
Finally, I expect this letter to remain confidential, and its contents to be disclosed only to those for whom there is an express need. Further, I expect that the name and position within this organization of any individuals to whom this letter and/or its contents are disclosed to be disclosed to me so that I am aware of who has been made privy to the same.
Very respectfully,
[Your name]
**I also was considering adding language about President Trump's EO which stated that nobody can question your religion when you invoke it as a defense against some kind of tyranny, but I still have to look it up.
No accommodations. That is bending the knee and not necessary.
Fair enough, that can always be taken out. You're right.
