I already declared myself exempt from the vaccine, which was approved, but now they are saying I must get tested 2 times a week. They are still “writing the policy details”. I want to know if they can do that or if it should fall under my exemption?

Per my understanding of Title VII of the civil rights act of 1964, yes they can require testing. It is a De Minimus burden on you and the employer. I know it’s very polarizing, but I’d be grateful to be tested in lieu of the jab. My request for exemption was denied and as of now weekly testing isn’t an alternative. (Not a fed employee). I am riding it down to the wire and trying to figure out how I can walk away.
But what I understand is, the ADA requires that medical procedures that are to be required must be equally applied. But I’m not a legal expert so I don’t kniw if that means they can single out exempt people and require it.
