Return to Work: Employer-Mandated COVID-19 Vaccination Policies and Accommodating Employee Disabilities and Religious Beliefs

Over 50% of the adult population of the U.S. has received at least one dose of a vaccine to combat COVID-19, and many employers are looking forward to a “return to normal,” with employees coming back to the workplace. But many are unsure whether to implement mandatory COVID-19 vaccination requirements as part of return-to-work policies. Employers must ensure that their return-to-work policies, including any vaccination mandates, comply with federal and state regulations governing vaccinations and / or discrimination in the workplace.

Join Matt Kreiser and Sara Nasseri, attorneys in PilieroMazza’s Litigation & Dispute Resolution and Labor & Employment groups, for a webinar on employer-mandated COVID-19 vaccinations policies, including:

• the EEOC’s recent guidance regarding mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policies;
• requirements to accommodate employees with disabilities under the ADA;
• accommodating sincerely held religious beliefs under Title VII;
• and strategies for receiving and responding to accommodation requests.
