My work mandated the shot for me today. Everyone else at work has been asked to get it. I have not been there long. Today I was asked to give my two weeks.

I have worked there for less than three months. According to our employment law I am not required to be given any compensation.

Its a small public company, not a large corporation.

I have not submitted anything in writing.

I was not verbatim asked to give my two weeks.

International travel is required.

Can they legally do that? If so, I'd walk right the fuck out. Your life and quality of it outweighs a job that doesn't truly care about you.

I have decided to leave if those are their requirements. I have been asked to give my two weeks. I have offered them two weeks or until they find someone new. The job requires international travel and they believe that there will be a vaccine requiremeny to do so.

Depends on the state, but there is tons of precedent that it is legal.

A whole lot of what I read disagrees with this. The 10 lawyers in my family disagree. My genius uncle cited the case law out of his head. most notable, the at will part of employment.

From the same place: https://www.statnews.com/2021/04/05/authorization-status-covid-19-vaccine-red-herring-mandating-vaccination/

"A little context to begin: This is new ground. The FDA has never before granted an EUA for a vaccine for the entire population, so there is no perfect precedent here. Employers, especially health care entities, and universities have, however, historically mandated vaccines. These mandates, which are designed to increase safety, stand on solid legal ground, though accommodations may be legally required for those with disabilities or religious beliefs."

So we're both wrong, but I see it happening.

Atheist, btw.

There is not precedent that it is legal. Best I can tell, it's yet unchallenged.

Schools have been this way for decades in some states.

Just search the question and you'll get your answer, in most cases, yes.
