Vaccine Requirement of Employees
CALSSA has received several questions from employers about whether they can require their employees to receive a COVID vaccine. The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing released guidance on this matter and the answer is yes with important caveats, such as accommodating those with sincerely-held religious beliefs and not retaliating against those engaged in protected activity, such as seeking reasonable accommodations. If you have additional questions, go here to find the memo (the section on vaccine requirements starts on page 7).
