(Reuters) – United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:) Inc will let workers who were not vaccinated for COVID-19 religiously or medically to return at end of month. The Wall Street Journal reports that the decision was made by United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ;) Inc.

This allows employees with exemptions from U.S. carriers’ vaccination requirement to be able to return from unpaid leaves or to take on non-customer facing roles, according to the report.

When Reuters reached United Airlines, they declined to comment.

The U.S.Appeals Court ordered an appeal of the decision by United Airlines to not block it from applying a COVID-19 mandate for employees.

United, based in Chicago, was the first major airline to require vaccinations. Scott Kirby, Chief Executive Officer (NYSE:), had defended United’s mandate for employees, saying that it was necessary for safety. It saved many lives.

Kirby claimed that around 200 of 67,000 employees were unwilling to get vaccinated, and they were dismissed.

According to the WSJ, 200 workers won’t be rehired and new employees will need to get vaccinated.
