ABOUT THE EVENT

The world is on pins and needles waiting for a vaccine. The current administration is working at “warp speed” to have one ready before the November 2020 election. A vaccine might even realistically be ready by late fall or early winter 2020. But when we finally have the precious COVID-19 vaccine, what does that mean for you and your ability to require your employees to get the vaccine? What should you do and what policies and procedures should you develop to make sure your workplace is safe? What can you legally do and not do regarding requiring your employees to get the vaccine? This webinar will explore these fascinating legal issues that are on the cutting edge of HR law. You will want to make sure that you attend this webinar today so that you can be prepared for when a COVID-19 vaccine becomes available.

Some of what you will learn:

What laws might prevent you from requiring an employee to get the COVID-19 vaccine?
What will the EEOC say on this issue regarding forcing employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine?
What guidelines has the EEOC issued in the past for similar vaccines, like the flu vaccine?
What legal liability could an employer face for requiring employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine?
Would employees be entitled to a reasonable accommodation if getting the vaccine is against their religion?
What if an employee claims the vaccine is unsafe? Could their employer force them to get the vaccine anyway?
If an employee refuses to get the vaccine, can you terminate them?
Are there alternative ways to keep the workplace safe after a vaccine, such as continuing to have employees wear face masks?
Could you get sued for forcing your employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine?
What policies and procedures should you implement regarding requiring employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine?
And much more….
