My wife received an "official email" from her employer stating that vaccinated employees no longer have to do all the Covid theatre with the masks, temp checks, questionnaires, etc. Non-vaccinated employees, such as my wife, however, are still treated as "unclean ones", and must continue to do all of the above. Which has the result of her being singled out by her coworkers as an "anti-vaxxer", etc. It's also, I'm quite sure, a precursor into their next step; making the jab mandatory for employment.
I'm not trying to get multiple posts about how she needs to "stop being a cuck" and throw away her mask, etc; I'm wanting to know just how actually legal/illegal it is for an employer to incentivize getting a non-FDA medical treatment like this, and what, if anything, she can do, legally speaking, to fight back without losing her job in the process.

Edit for clarification, because some of these answers are for a slightly different question: She is technically not being required to get the jab (yet); she's just being forced to wear an article of clothing, etc, that other employees are not, based solely on her personal health decisions. Someone below even said their employer offered $1K to incentivize employees to get [this still very much non-FDA approved, "emergency use only" treatment]. Wow, that's a bad thing to be in any way legal.

I'm going through the same thing. All I can say is either she wears the mask or invokes HIPAA. As far as I know she's not legally required to disclose medical information like vaccination records.

That is probably the choice: show us your vax card or wear a mask. They aren't violating HIPPA because they are allowing you a choice of not disclosing your vax status. I worked in a place where this was invoked for regular flu shots during flu season long before Covid.

I'm not sure about that. I'm pretty certain they can't demand you to provide medical records or not work there. It's similar to, they can't ask if you're pregnant or planning on getting pregnant in the future for hiring purposes.

but to allow anybody to not wear a mask they have to violate HIPPA

They are creating a hostile work environment by making her a pariah among her coworkers. That's harassment under the current workplace harassment laws. She can easily win a case with that alone.

I don't know about 'easily'. The lawyer costs would probably just balance with any settlement agreement.
