My husband is required to wear a picture ID.
I am a teacher - we teachers are required to wear picture ID’s at all times. However, the students are not required to do so.
My BIL wears a picture ID with RFID tracker - he works for a defense contractor in MO.
This type of requirement is pretty common in anything but a very small business.
And that is my point. Of course if someone has a religious objection to wearing an ID badge, they could refuse to take the job and I’m fine with that. OTOH, since it is required at my place of work, we could refuse employment to someone who objected or terminate someone who later refused since the requirement is in our employment handbook, which all employees are required to read and sign at the time they are hired. Not all the employers I’ve worked for have been “large” BTW. One had under 50 employees but we were a tech company and handled sensitive HIPPA protected information. Wearing ID cards with door access programmed in was also a requirement of the building management as we shared a building with several other companies. My ID badge was needed for elevator access after normal business hours and the elevator would not operate or stop on floors other than those of my company based on the magnetic strip on my ID card.
