Should . . . and could . . . we make the vaccine mandatory for employees? The pros, cons and options get discussed surrounding this hot topic.
Source: Human Resource Executive, December 21, 2020. Link. In guidance released December 16, 2020 < link >, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said employers can require that employees get vaccinated as a condition of going to work. However, they must be prepared to exempt employees with disabilities and religious objections.
In the exempt cases, an employer must offer a reasonable accommodation to the employee, such as working remotely or being reassigned. . . as long as the accommodation doesn’t cause “undue hardship” for the employer.
