Nine Customs workers have been fired for not getting the Covid-19 vaccine. MBIE said of the 127 workers who had not yet been vaccinated, 23 were booked in to receive their first dose. That leaves more than 104 workers. Fifteen of these were unable to be vaccinated for a health reason. Thirteen were undergoing a “process that may lead to termination”. The statistics from MBIE showed:
57 have been redeployed
3 are undertaking alternative working arrangements (ie working from home)
15 have been stood down to seek alternative employment
2 have resigned
13 are undergoing a process that could result in termination. MBIE clarified that “stood down” means they have not yet been assigned to other tasks at another site, while the employer and employee work through the options: redeployment, changing duties, taking leave, redundancy or termination.
