Common use of Bona Fide Religious Objection Clause in Contracts

Bona Fide Religious Objection. An employee may choose not to participate in a County sponsored medical plan if they are a member of a bona fide religious body which has an objection to medical insurance to the extent allowed by law. To do so any employee must present a written declaration to the County Director of Human Resources that the employee is a member of a bona fide religious body (by name) which objects to medical insurance. Newly hired employees who provide such declaration prior to the start of their medical insurance coverage will not be required to participate in a County sponsored medical plan unless required by law. Current employees who are covered by a County sponsored medical plan will be removed from the medical plan the month following the receipt of their written declaration by the County Director of Human Resources unless otherwise required by law.
