The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsuit against insurer UnitedHealthcare on Sept. 20 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The complaint says the company refused to grant a religious accommodation to Amanda Stone, a supervisor of clinical administration who had worked remotely since 2018.
UnitedHealthcare explicitly said “the policy did not apply to full-time telecommuters,” according to the EEOC, but Ms. Stone was notified she had to be vaccinated. “The EEOC’s contention that the employee in question was a remote worker with no in-person job responsibilities is inaccurate. We continue to respect individual beliefs, while working to ensure the health, well-being and safety of our colleagues and those we are privileged to serve.”
The company emailed articles to Ms. O’Neal “in an effort to convince her that her sincerely held religious beliefs were not scientifically accurate,” according to the EEOC. According to an EEOC statement, employers must reasonably accommodate an employee’s religious observance or practice unless doing so would cause an undue hardship.
