Handling Religious Exemptions for Vaccine Requirement

(from Venable) If you are an employer requiring the COVID-19 vaccine for employees returning to the office, you have the important task of abiding by an interactive process when handling the imminent accommodation requests by employees who cannot receive the vaccine. In terms of exemptions for religious beliefs, it's important that employers clarify to employees their policy, exemptions to the policy and the interactive process to determine who receives an exemption. The employer is responsible for engaging in the interactive process as soon as it learns that an employee needs an accommodation.
