The new policy takes effect in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Texas and Utah on Aug. 14, according to a company memo that was leaked to the public July 14 by Dr. Lucky Tran.
askedThe leaked memo says the policy “will be reviewed periodically to ensure effectiveness and compliance with evolving health guidance. Revisions to the policy will be communicated to all associated in a timeline manner.”
It also says that “failure to comply with this policy may result in appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment, based on the severity and frequency of the violation.”Dr. Judy Stone, an infectious disease physician and medical writer, penned apublished July 17 in which she said the policy may intrude on employees’ health privacy.
“Without disclosing a medical diagnosis, In-N-Out’s new policy mandates, ‘The medical note should clearly state the reason for the exemption and the estimated duration.’ How is this to be done without violating the employee’s privacy?” she asked.“Risking their employees’ health in such a fashion may be ‘unmatched,’ but not in the way company officials believe,” she wrote. “And if their only concern is seeing their employees’ smiles, there are masks with transparent windows over the mouth.
“We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government,” chief legal and business officer for In-N-Out, Arnie Wensinger,“It is unreasonable, invasive, and unsafe to force our restaurant associates to segregate customers into those who may be served and those who may not, whether based on the documentation they carry, or any other reason.”
