How to Develop a Vaccination Policy

President Biden issued an executive order mandating that all government-related employers require their employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19. In addition, OSHA has announced ETS that require employers with more than 100 workers to have them inoculated or tested weekly. Given these conditions and the inherent threat of the pandemic, many financial institutions are trying to determine whether to create a vaccination policy that will protect employees and accountholders, but not alienate staff members.

But the devil is in the details. What constitutes a “medical or religious exemption”? As a private employer, what constitutes 100+ employees? Are both vaccinated and unvaccinated employees counted? What about those working remotely? What kind of accommodations should be provided? While the orders have not yet been codified and numerous opposition lawsuits have been filed, now is the time to consider creating a vaccination policy – despite the size of your institution. This webinar will take a deep dive into these questions and provide a template to use when examining the issue and in crafting your policy.
