Major companies are shedding their mask requirements for fully vaccinated employees, but with no clear policies on how to determine if a worker has received the COVID-19 vaccine.
Business groups have voiced support for vaccination requirements as a term of employment, despite the legal pitfalls that come with enforcement.
Companies now face the challenge of setting rules for workplace settings that may include vaccinated and unvaccinated employers working side by side.
Retail giants like Walmart and Target are using the honor system in letting vaccinated workers remove their masks.

White House coronavirus response senior adviser Andy Slavitt on Tuesday urged young Americans to get vaccinated, saying his own son is battling long-haul symptoms of the infection.
“He’s young and fit, and in the prime of his life. But six months later, he stills suffers from tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), shortness of breath and ongoing and frequent flu-like symptoms, Slavitt said at a White House briefing. His hands are cold to the touch.
Slavitt said it is not clear how long the symptoms will last. He said that many, many young people are more seriously ill than his son, and that more than one-third of hospitalized COVID patients are under 50.
