Most of us can wrap our heads around a medical exemption because such exemptions are a little more concrete than their religious counterparts.

We are going to learn how it applies, what the limitations are, and how HR can interact with employees that claim such an exemption.
I am joined today by Morgan E. Geffre, an Associate at Foulston’s Employment & Labor Law Practice Group in Wichita, Kansas. She assists employers with the review and development of comprehensive employment policies and procedures and proactively researches rapidly evolving issues to help clients stay ahead of developing legal trends.

But the deep state of Plain Language persevered.
