The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) has issued new guidance which expands their December 2020 guidance and further addresses questions regarding vaccination of employees.
The new guidance confirms that the federal equal opportunity laws do not prevent employers from requiring all employees to be vaccinated, so long as accommodations for those seeking exemptions are in place.
The guidance also discusses employers offering incentives to employees who voluntarily provide confirmation of vaccination, as well as guidance for employers administering vaccines to their employees.
