The crackdown on unvaccinated workers could be coming in the form of more vaccine mandates and more financial penalties, a new survey suggests. Employers are trying to strike a balance between keeping staff and also keeping a healthy workforce.

A company crackdown on unvaccinated workers could be coming, in the form of more mandates and more financial penalties, a new survey suggests.

At the same time, more cities, including New York City and San Francisco, are setting rules requiring customers at indoor venues such as bars, restaurants and gyms to show proof of vaccination to get inside. — Dr. Jeff Levin-Scherz, population health leader at Willis Towers Watson Approximately 1% of companies are already applying surcharges on the health care premiums of unvaccinated workers, and another 1% are planning how and when to implement the surcharges.

The Willis Towers Watson survey says financial penalties appear to be gaining more momentum to persuade staff to get vaccinated — perhaps working off the psychology of an aversion to lost money. Other surveys show a growing willingness among company management to add some type of mandate to its company policy. For example, just 0.5% of employers in January told Littler Mendelson, a law firm representing employers, they were mandating vaccination.

If employers mandate will they be responsible for any side affects or deaths?

Should be and myst be if we are getting back to “normal” or anywhere close to it.

I won’t work around a bunch of unvaccinated people so you want to keep staff you leave best bet is to make everyone feel safe

If 99% of the employees are more comfortable with vaccinations.. that demographic of anti-vaxxer ❄️'s are pretty much schitt out of luck...
