Principal Financial is requiring employees to provide their vaccine status by Nov. 19. The company notified employees on Nov. 8.

“The first step is to collect the vaccination status of our U.S. employees to inform future changes and ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations,” the message said.

It all means that every U.S. employee (full-time/part-time), intern and Principal Financial Network financial representatives in their six-month employment phase must let the company know of their COVID vaccination status.

There are five options to choose from:

*I have received a COVID vaccine (provide vaccine details as requested in the form and upload an image of the card).

*I have not received a COVID vaccine. If a vaccine were required, I currently plan to submit a medical/disability accommodation request.

*I have not received a COVID vaccine. If a vaccine were required, I currently plan to submit a religious accommodation request.

*I have not received a COVID vaccine.

*I decline to answer. (This response will be treated as if the employee has not received a COVID vaccine)
