However, supply chain slowdowns are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the issues that are arising from vaccine mandates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Freedom Convoy 2022 speaks to a larger social movement that is happening in Canada, the United States, and across the globe,\u201d says employment expert Rob Wilson, President of employment solutions firm Employco USA. \u201cWhile we all want to reduce COVID rates and recover from this pandemic, businesses are faced with a tough decision when it comes to mandating vaccines and potentially losing employees in an already competitive job market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>However, Wilson says some employers see the opposite side of the argument too: If their staff isn\u2019t largely vaccinated, they could be facing virus spread throughout the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the past, having a few odd workers out for flu season wasn\u2019t a massive concern for companies,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cSo, for example, there wasn\u2019t a real need for employers to insist upon workers getting the flu vaccine. But, now, if a company has a positive COVID-19 case, not only is that a serious health concern, but you could be looking at shutting down your location for 2 weeks or more for sanitizing. It&#8217;s a serious liability, not just financially but also when it comes to alerting your staff and customers and making sure you\u2019re doing your due diligence to protect everyone under your company umbrella.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That raises the question: Is there any way that employees can refuse a vaccination?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe American Disability Act does allow for employees to abstain from vaccinations due to their medical history,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cAlthough we don\u2019t yet know if the vaccines have any side effects or could be of concern to any particular population, I think we\u2019re going to see some employees relying upon the ADA to back up their arguments for why they don\u2019t want a COVID-19 vaccine. Employers need to be prepared for that and consider how to navigate that issue without infringing on a worker\u2019s privacy because employees do still have HIPPA rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson says religious exemptions will apply.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDepending on the state you reside in, it is possible your workers will be able to deny vaccines due to their strongly-held religious beliefs and\/or due to philosophical or moral beliefs. This is worded differently based on where you live, but basically, it offers a little bit of wiggle room,\u201d explains the human resources expert. \u201cAgain, employers will have to tread very lightly here. If your employee demonstrates a sincere faith-based or moral-based objection to vaccinations, you might not be within your rights to require vaccinations from that particular employee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpring will be here before you know it,\u201d concludes Wilson. \u201cAnd with it, we are expecting a return to normal, but a new normal&#8230;one that\u2019s going to require serious adjustments from every workplace.\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>HR expert discusses how vaccine mandates have slowed down the supply chain and job stability Truckers protesting mandated vaccines at the Canadian border have vastly slowed down the supply chain, which was sputtering back to a slow start after a&hellip;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/2022\/02\/10\/mandate-madness-wreaks-havoc-on-economic-recovery\/\">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":[30,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-coronavirus","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 -
