Employer Considerations for Vaccination Policies and Reopening

Jonathan reviewed these important considerations for businesses when operating or reopening their business in early 2022:

  • General Legal Duty to Take All Reasonable Steps to Protect Workers
  • Engage Your HS Rep or JHSC, and document your actions.
  • Review all policies (especially harassment, violence, accommodation)
  • Be aware of new changes to the law (right to disconnect, non-compete agreements)
  • Consider paid sick days
  • Review your definition of “vaccinated”
  • Make sure your policy is catered to your business, not someone else’s
  • Importance of Confidentiality
  • Importance of Flexibility
  • Address consequences for failure to comply
  • Address costs and execution of policy
  • Vax policies supplement all existing policies
