As COVID-19 vaccines become more widely available to workers across the state, Florida employers are planning for thousands of people to start heading back to the workplace.
But the process is easier said than done. Many employers are hoping to get their workers inoculated. In turn, they face an array of legal considerations.
We reached out to four experts in the labor and employment field to assess key legal questions for navigating the vaccine landscape. They are attorney Nathan Adams of Holland & Knight; attorney Donna Ballman of Donna M. Ballman P.A.; attorney Joe Santoro of Gunster; and Jay Starkman, founder and CEO of the Miami-based human resources firm Engage PEO.
