However, the HR expert cautions that employers can\u2019t go overboard when incentivizing the jab.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to the EEOC guidelines, employers can offer limited vaccination incentives, as long as the rewards and penalties are not so substantial as to be coercive,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cInstead of offering cash bonuses or another monetary reward, employers should simply reward fully vaccinated individuals by letting them skip the mask-wearing and drop social distancing, provided their worksite\u2019s local and state laws allow it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson also says that employers can offer PTO to those who might need time to recuperate after getting the vaccination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEmployers can offer up to 80 hours of post-vax PTO with federal tax credit,\u201d says Wilson, \u201cSo when it comes to offering incentives, this is a good place to start.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But what happens to employees who cannot get the vaccination due to medical or religious beliefs?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to keep it fair across the board, so if you\u2019re offering a vaccination bonus to your employees who get the vax, but you have some employees who <em>would <\/em>get the vaccination but can\u2019t due to their religious beliefs or health background, then it\u2019s important to try to find ways to get a bonus to those workers too,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cFor example, Kroger recently offered $100 to employees who got the coronavirus vaccine. But, for employees who were unable to get the vaccination but otherwise would have participated, Kroger offered a health and safety course they could complete for the $100 bonus. This helped to make the incentive feel more equitable and not unduly coercive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the end, however, Wilson says that simply relaxing masks and social distancing requirements may prove to be enough of an incentive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s good to be cautious and continue taking the virus seriously, especially as we deal with this new Delta variant,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cBut the best way to encourage vaccination compliance is by helping people to see that their lives and jobs can go back to normal if they get the shot. This may be a more powerful incentive than any monetary amount.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more on this topic, please contact Rob Wilson at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com\">rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Employment trends expert talks requiring employee vaccines &amp; other COVID-19 considerations in the workplace A new survey found that while many Americans say they support employers requiring vaccines, that number greatly decreases when it comes to their own employer requiring&hellip;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/2021\/07\/02\/new-survey-americans-dont-want-their-boss-to-require-vaccinesbut-should-employers-do-so-anyway\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-human-resources"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Employco USA","author_link":"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/author\/employcousa\/"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\r\n<title>New Survey: Americans Don\u2019t Want Their Boss to Require Vaccines\u2026but Should Employers Do So Anyway?
