And employers will like it.
NOTE FROM ROBIN: This is the text of a Legal Bulletin that
we sent out today. I am posting it here for those of you who
don't subscribe to our bulletins.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued guidance
today on employer and employee rights related to COVID
vaccinations. We are reproducing the new FAQs in full below, but
here is a quick summary:
- It does not violate federal law for an employer to require
employees to get COVID vaccines.
- It is prudent for the employer who requires COVID vaccines to
require employees to get the vaccines from pharmacies or their
personal health care providers. That way, any necessary medical
inquiries will not be attributable to the employer. The EEOC also
advises that employers caution employees to provide proof of
vaccination that does not include their personal medical
information.
