The County had the legal right to have such a requirement, so there is nothing unlawful about requiring you to get the vaccination. The fact that the employer did not enforce its own rule is not something you can sue about. And you have not indicated that you have suffered any legally... View More

Attorneys here will not call you just because you listed your number. You need to initiate contact.

I suggest you consult an employment law attorney who will further examine your situation and explain your options. Most employment law attorneys in California offer free-of-charge initial... View More

No one can force you to resign. Resignation is a voluntary act by you. However your employer can terminate you if you refuse to do what is required of you, including getting boosted. You would not have a meritorious legal claim if you are fired because you refused to follow the company's... View More

There is simply too many questions in your post to be able to give a competent answer in this short answer forum.

A few things can be said.

First, any company can have a vaccination mandate if it wishes to maintain and enforce one.

Second, the Supreme Court only said the... View More

In theory, you may be eligible to collect your Covid sick pay retroactively; however, the exact answer will depend on the timeframe you worked for your former employer and whether your employer is subject to the 2022 COVID Supplemental Paid Sick Leave Law.

Waiting time penalties accrue when you separate from your job. Your employer has to pay all wages the day you are terminated or within 3 days if you quit. For each day the employer is late, you are entitled to 1 days wages as a penalty up to a max of 30 days. The statute of limitations for waiting... View More

You get the booster. If you refuse to do what your employer wants, you get fired. It is that simple. Sorry.

Good luck to you.

Your post suggests that you have multiple claims against your employer. If you wish to pursue those claims, you should locate and consult with an employment law attorney who can learn more about your situation and plot out your path.

As to OSHA violations you can report those directly to... View More

Your employer is only allowed to know that your doctor is treating you, what restrictions you have, and what reasonable accommodations would address your condition. Your employer is not allowed to know anything else about your medical conditions or history, including your diagnosis, symptoms or... View More

If it can be established that you lost hours or even your job because you contracted Covid-19 and needed to quarantine and heal, then you likely would have a case for violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act, and probably wrongful adverse employment action in violation of public policy....

If you have a closely held religious belief that prevents you from taking the vaccine, you will need to present that information to your employer. But keep in mind whether you claim a medical or religious exemption, the accommodation is still not automatic. The employer should try to accommodate... View More

Your employer is within their rights to follow up on your request for a religious exemption to verify that it is a truly held religious belief. You should comply with their request for more information if you wish for them to grant you an exemption to their requirement for the Covid-19 vaccine.... View More

You have not really asked a question that can be answered. This Q&A board is not the place to solicit attorneys to work for you.

It sounds to me like you need to locate and consult with an employer-side attorney.

Mandatory vaccination is lawful. It has been since 1905 when the US Supreme Court issued its opinion in Jacobson v. Massachusetts. That decision, although old, has been cited to over 800 times and recently by our US Supreme court in the last two years. You will have no recourse if you refuse to... View More

Under California Labor Code 1102.5, if you complain to your employer about something you reasonably believe to be unlawful, and the employer retaliates against you (in this case terminated you), you may have a case for whistleblower retaliation. I would recommend seeking a free consultation with an... View More

If you are an hourly employee you must be paid for all time you spend working for the employer. That is true regardless of what the employer tells you about what hours you are to work. While you can be disciplined and even terminated for working more hours than your employer instructed you to... View More

Yes an employer can withhold promotions and raises, and even terminate an employee, who refuses to vaccinate against Covid-19. And it is not a HIPAA violation to ask an employee about why they do not want to vaccinate. HIPAA does not regulate employees, only health care providers and insurance... View More

Your employer can require you to wear a mask. If you have a medical note indicating that you cannot wear a mask due to a medical condition, that does not mean you get to take the mask off and work like you did before the pandemic. Rather, the employer as the obligation at that time to determine... View More

Contact the EDD and arrange to give back the money you should not have received. If you did not qualify for UI benefits, that is your only option short of waiting to be the subject of a reimbursement action.
