How do vaccines and proof of vaccination affect your workplace?
BC’s proof of vaccination system began on Sept. 13. Under it, patrons are required to show proof of one dose of COVID-19 vaccine to enter restaurants, movies, sporting events, and other non-essential venues.
Employers must follow this new system. And those thinking of introducing a vaccine policy should consider their duty to health and safety. Doing so helps protect your business.
So, what are the benefits? And how will they affect your business?
Proof of vaccination and vaccine policies
BC Employers must ensure the health and safety of all staff in the workplace. You’ll have to assess your business to decide if workers must take the vaccine or if a vaccination certificate is necessary. These are hard decisions to make, and before doing so you must factor in refusals among your team and the privacy concerns involved.
Before you implement a vaccine policy, reach out to Employer Line’s experts to ensure you are staying compliant. We’ll help you build a policy that meets best practices while protecting your business.
Furthermore, employers should look to protect their businesses by:
- Updating contracts and documentation to meet new legislation.
- Creating policies to support staff in getting the vaccine.
- Keeping your workplace safe and COVID-19 secure (even after vaccination).
