Cerner Corporation terminates employee after he submitted a written request for religious accommodation to be exempted from the company’s COVID-19 vaccine policy.

Advocates has filed a lawsuit on behalf of Dan Rife, whose employer, Cerner Corporation, failed to make any attempts to accommodate Mr. Rife’s religion after he submitted a written request for a religious accommodation to be exempted from Cerner’s COVID-19 vaccine policy. Rather than explore any reasonable alternative means of accommodating Mr. Rife, Cerner terminated his employment. Cerner granted vaccine mandate exemptions to other employees, accepting in lieu of vaccinations, alternative health and safety measures such as remote work, masking, symptom screening, regular testing, and social distancing. There is no reason why Cerner could not have also accommodated Mr. Rife by providing these very same vaccine accommodation options to him. Mr. Rife alleges violation of his rights under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act.
