Our mandate was sprung on us at the last minute had two weeks to get a Drs exemption or religious exemption. Knowing that the Religious exemptions are iffy I focused on the Drs exemption and couldn't get in to see my neurologist (had Bells Palsy) before the deadline. I've heard that they are flexible but HR came out and flat out said the Religious exemptions are temporary last week. This is my bitter cup of hemlock. Essentially the company I work for has created its own mandate and is for US workers only.

Subject: COVID-19 Non-Compliance Notice
Hello:
On October 4, 2021, the Company announced its U.S. COVID-19 Vaccine Policy. This policy requires vaccination of covered U.S. - based employees by December 1, 2021. Employees were required to submit the details of a single dose by November 1, 2021, and for employees subject to this policy, to show full compliance by December 1, 2021. The U.S. COVID-19 Vaccine Policy provides that individuals not in compliance with this policy would be subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment with cause. Reminders about this policy were sent to all subject employees on October 8, 14, and 26, 2021, and again on November 3, 2021. As of today, company’s records indicate that you have not complied with this policy. If you believe company’s records are in error, please contact

To the extent company's records are accurate, which we believe to be the case, we are providing you with a final opportunity to comply with the Company’s policy. In order to come into compliance with this policy, you must submit the details of a single dose of vaccination by December 3, 2021 by providing this information in Workday or VaxTracker, and by providing a copy of your vaccine card to
