I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

employer requiring COVID vaccine exemption denied. I've been dealing with this for about 14 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 2 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Have you tried reaching out to your state's bar association? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
