From Facebook to Google, many large companies started to mandate thatEmployees are vaccinated Against Covid, what does the Commission's Employment Chances Commission say (EEOC) is perfectly legal. Some employees refuse to comply, stop smoking or concluding. ViralFacebook Post On 4 August suggested that non-vaccinated workers be eligible for unemployment if they are drawn (rather than quitting) to refuse vaccination. But according to legal experts, it's just not the case.
"The workers who are drawn because they refuse a vaccine areunlikely to be eligible"For unemployment,Charlotte Garden, an associate professor at the School of Law of the University of Seattle, told Politifact.
Joe Roby Jr., a lawyer in Duluth, Minnesota, specialized in the right of employment and work in Johnson, Killen & Seiler, explained to ABC affiliated Wdi-DT in order toqualify for unemployment, An employee must lose his job without failing their own, as if a company has reduced its staff. But if someone has been terminated for refusing to follow a society policy that applied to all employees, Roby said it could be considered as an misconduct on the part of the employee, which means that 'They would not qualify for unemployment.
"The misconduct is defined in the status of unemployment as a very serious wrongdoing. It is not only negligent, it is not only negligence, it is not just a bad performance. It must be quite serious And it must be intentional, "Roby said.

According to Roby, some employers have been able to mandate some vaccinations (such as influenza shots) and tests (such as tuberculosis) in the past. "Health care providers, for decades, employees have been tested for tuberculosis to a hospital," he explained. "So, let's say you've already been hired, but you then refuse to test. You will probably lose your job."
However, Roby says there are exceptions, such as exempted employees for medical and religious reasons. If it is terminated to refuse the vaccine for one of these reasons, it states that employees drawn could always be eligible to receive unemployment. They should provide evidence, as a note from their doctor, but religious exemptions may be more difficult to prove.
"I still have to meet aValid religious objection Take a vaccine, "Joshua van Kampen, a Charlotte's employment lawyer in North Carolina told ABC Affiliate WSOC-TV. "I think people are surprised to know that they do not have a lot of legal options."
Roby says that the cases of unemployment will always be determined on a case-by-case basis, but Van Kampen says that it may be difficult to find anyone in the field of law to sue an employer for a vaccine requirement.
"If you are going to court about it, you must be friendly and ask you:" Is a judge who lost a family member in Covid will be friendly for you because you refuse to take a vaccine? "Van Kampen noted.
