Virtual event: The Covid-19 vaccine – what can employers do?

As an employer do you have the right to insist that your employees get the Covid-19 vaccination?

As an employee do you have the right to say no?

The roll out of the Covid-19 vaccination was a much-anticipated milestone in the fight against Covid-19. Employers will be keen to encourage their employees to have it but how far can they go? In this webinar, we will address some of the issues and concerns surrounding the roll out of the vaccine and how employers and employees can overcome these.

In this webinar we’ll answer your questions, including:

• Can employers force employees to be vaccinated?
• What can employers do if employees refuse?
• Should employers have a written vaccination policy?
• Education may be better than confrontation – how to offer encouragement and support?
• What discrimination risks could employers face?
• Health and safety considerations

We are running this event as part of our National Procurement Service for Wales webinar programme, but this webinar is relevant to all employers. 

Hear from:

• Chris Mayers, Partner, Head of Employment in Wales
• Andrea Thomas, Partner, Employment and Immigration
• Ruth Sheret, Senior Associate, Licensing, Regulatory & Tax
