Will companies mandate workers to get vaccinated now that employees are being told to return to the office?

Covid-19 vaccinations, but policies must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act , Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other workplace laws, according to the EEOC.”The duration of the risk.The imminence of the potential harm.

It's a tough call for managers. If an employee falls into the category in which they don’t or can’t be vaccinated, but could potentially be a health threat to colleagues, the supervisor has to come up with solutions. This could include making reasonable accommodations, such as isolating the person from others, which isn’t too practical or polite. They may elect to ask the unvaccinated person to work remotely. It could get complicated and uncomfortable.

The issue gets even more complicated when companies require their customers to be vaccinated. Airlines, sporting events, restaurants and cruise lines may call for vaccine passports. Like many issues lately, the decisions become politicized. Some groups will claim that they don’t want their rights and privacy abridged and others may feel uncomfortable and put-upon to be in close proximity with someone who could potentially spread the virus.

As companies are planning to soon have people back in the office by May, June or July, executives have to quickly figure out how to navigate these difficult decisions.

They should, or fire them!

There are of course medical exceptions. But here's my opinion. You dont need to get vaccinated but you can't come to a shared workplace if you have a choice to and dont. That goes for schools, universities, etc. Not fair to put others at risk.

No, because companies have removed 2/4 weeks of covid sick leave from the payroll, plus 2/3 weeks of regular sick leave. All expenses paid. Oh, it's going to be beautiful...

For everyone’s sake, please do! We do not want to have to repeat Covid mayhem again!

Can they?

Stop trying to force people’s hands with propaganda.

People need a little more good news now.
