Ask the Expert: COVID Policies for the Workplace

As COVID vaccines become more widely available and workplace restrictions are lifted, employers need to understand best practices for maintaining a safe environment while respecting worker privacy.  Employment law attorney Susan Troester, LaPointe Law, will review employers’ rights and responsibilities regarding:

• whether employers should require employees to get vaccinated
• how they can enforce a vaccination policy 
• whether doing so creates any exposure for claims by employees
• offering additional PTO for employees to get vaccinated
• documents employers can require as proof of vaccination
• how to respond to employees who refuse to get the vaccine
