I have been working remotely for 2 years since the pandemic started with great success. My company has since implemented a vaccine policy and because I refuse to get vaccinated they are giving me two options 1. Be compliant with the policy and get vaccinated or 2. Apply for a flexible work arrangement (FWA) to reduce my work and pay to 75% from May to October. When I asked why the arrangement would be active until October HR stated that they were unsure if at this point the vaccine policy would still be active, in their words “It may be it may not be”. Do I have to comply with this options I would hate to feel like I am being forced to get this vaccine only to have the policy not be in place by October. My question would be do I have to choose either option or can I fight back? Thank you
