VACCINATIONS
The Advantages And Pitfalls
E
mployers throughout the country are adopting
vaccination policies with the hope to return employees
to work and encourage customers to
return to their businesses. Some employers are mandating
vaccinations for employees, while others are
offering incentives to their employees to encourage
voluntary vaccinations.
The debate regarding vaccinations began early in the
pandemic and continues to rage. Lawmakers are presenting
legislation to prohibit mandatory vaccinations
in almost all 50 states while individuals are filing lawsuits
challenging mandatory vaccinations. However,
due to the global health crisis, most courts have held
mandatory vaccination policies to be constitutional
and permissive as long as employers permit exemptions
for religion and disabilities. In certain industries,
like health care, courts are upholding mandatory vaccination
policies even without regular exceptions in order
to protect the health and safety of staff, patients,
and the families in their facilities.
Most businesses do not want or need to take the route
of mandating vaccinations. Instead, businesses would
rather see their employees get vaccinated voluntarily.
To help move that goal forward, employers are turning
to incentives.
Incentives are already being offered by large companies
nationwide to encourage the public at large to get
vaccinated. For example, Uber and Lyft are offering free
rides to and from vaccine appointments. Krispy Kreme
is offering a free glazed donut a day to anyone who
comes into a store with their vaccination card. Anheuser-Busch
is offering free beer to any eligible adult if
the country reaches the 70% vaccination rate set out
by President Joe Biden by July 4. Additionally, several
states are offering cash incentives, including large lotteries.
However, these incentives may not be enough.
Before moving forward with employee incentives for
vaccinations, employers need to stop and ask themselves:
What are the advantages and pitfalls?
