When Michigan s COVID-19 restrictions for office work ended this week, the change raised many questions for employees and employers preparing to return to work in-person.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced Monday that companies are no longer required to have their employees work remotely when possible. In another major change, workers who are fully vaccinated no longer have to wear masks indoors.
Employers face COVID-19 vaccine questions
The availability of a COVID vaccine has been heralded as an important step in returning the country to “normal.”
Widespread accessibility probably won’t be seen until this summer, but there is some good news: A recent study conducted by Pew Research shows that more than 60% of Americans say they probably or definitely will get vaccinated. Of course, that mean almost 40% said they probably or definitely won’t.
These numbers will have an impact on how employers craft plans and policies for getting employees back to work and keeping them safe, including determining if they should require employees to get vaccinated.
Utah County Jail
PROVO A Payson man has been ordered to serve at least three years of probation and inpatient substance abuse treatment for a hate crime attack on a Black Latter-day Saint missionary nearly a year ago.
Calling Sebastian West, 20, a “known, assaultive felon,” 4th District Judge James Brady said Tuesday that he won’t hesitate to send West to the Utah State Prison should he step out of line.
“If he does not comply with every requirement of probation, he will be serving time in prison,” Brady said.
Prosecutors have called West “the main aggressor” in the Jan. 28, 2019, attack, when he and several others punched, kicked and knocked the missionary to the icy ground. They called him the N-word and said, “This is our town,” and “Go back to slavery,” according to court documents.
