CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Kroger will provide a monetary incentive to its workers to encourage them to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
The Cincinnati-based supermarket chain announced the one-time $100 payment Friday, saying it will go to all associates who receive “the full manufacturer-recommended doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.”
Appropriate proof of vaccination is required.
Associates who cannot receive the vaccine due to medical or religious reasons will have the option of completing an educational health and safety course to receive the payment, the company says.
