In brief
As companies call employees back to the physical workplace, more employers are electing to implement mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policies to keep employees safe. In turn, some employees are seeking accommodations for disabilities or sincerely held religious beliefs that may prevent them from being vaccinated. What should Canadian employers keep top of mind when handling these requests?
In this In Focus video, our Labour and Employment lawyers share guidelines for Canadian employers to consider as they encounter requests for accommodations from mandatory vaccination policies.
Subscribe to the Canadian Labour and Employment Law blog where our lawyers provide written legal updates on returning employees to the workplace, inclusion and diversity, and other hot topics. Past video chats are also linked in the blog sidebar for easy access, and feature topics such as mandatory vaccinations and addressing systemic discrimination and inequity in the workplace.
To support our clients in understanding, preparing for and responding quickly to the significant legal and business challenges posed by COVID-19, Baker McKenzie has assembled a global Beyond COVID-19 Resource Centre and a Canada COVID-19 Resource Centre for quick reference.
