Update--Can Employers require Employees to take the COVID-19 Vaccine?

Now that the COVID-19 vaccine is available, employers will need to decide if employees will be required to take the vaccine. Before making the vaccine a requirement, employers need to consider the following;
·      Religious Accommodations
·      Disability Accommodations
·      Union Contracts
·      Employees that refuse to get the vaccine
 
A thorough, objective policy should be communicated based on business necessity and the policy should be applied consistently. We will be glad to help develop a policy for your company. Contact us at [email protected]
