More and more employers are requiring workers to become vaccinated against Covid-19, whether as a matter of company policy, or due to state and federal mandates, including the anticipated Emergency Temporary Standard from OSHA for employers with 100 or more workers. These mandatory vaccinations raise a host of questions for employers including: how to implement and communicate a vaccine mandate; how to handle employee needs for time off to get vaccinated or recover from vaccine side effects; applying a vaccine mandate to remote workers; and addressing requests for exemption from vaccination due to medical reasons or sincerely-held religious belief consistent with EEOC guidance. Join us on December 2, when Adam Hamel, Chair of McLane Middleton’s Employment Law Practice Group will discuss these topics and more as employers grapple with the challenges of this latest phase of the Covid-19 pandemic.
