Now that workers across Canada are receiving vaccines against COVID-19, some might be wondering how to approach this subject in their workplace.
Getting the vaccine is a personal health decision, so do workers have to disclose this information to their employer?
“There is currently no legislation requiring workers to notify their employers when they have received the vaccine,” saidPuneet Tiwari, legal counsel at HR consulting firm Peninsula Canada. “However, providing your employer with this information can be helpful to them in making health and safety decisions for the workplace.”
