COVID-19 Religious and Medical Exemptions: What California Employers Need to Know

The issuance of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) emergency temporary standard mandating vaccinations or weekly COVID-19 testing may be followed by similar requirements at the state and local levels in California. As a result, California employers may have to apply the state exemptions relating to religious and medical accommodations. In this webinar, the speakers will explain the differences between the federal and state religious and medical exemption standards. The speakers will also provide attendees with a step-by-step framework to analyze California employees’ religious and medical vaccine and testing accommodation requests.
