The approval of COVID-19 vaccines by Health Canada and the (painfully slow) roll-out of a vaccination program by government may mark the beginning of the end of the pandemic, and the prospect of a return to a more normal life. It has also raised a number of important and complicated questions for employers.
Our cross-country panel will discuss the key labour, employment, health and safety, human rights, and privacy issues that may arise from the vaccination of employees against COVID-19, including:
- The lessons and limits of existing case law on workplace vaccination policies
- Whether employers can require or incentivize employees to be vaccinated
- Whether employers can require disclosure of employee vaccination status and what can be done with that information
- How to balance employees’ objections based on religious, disability or other grounds with other considerations like workplace health and safety
