COVID-19 Mandatory Vaccination Policies

With recent mandatory vaccination announcements from the BC and Federal governments, many employers are considering implementing mandatory vaccination or proof of vaccination policies in their workplaces. We encourage all employers to seek legal advice before implementing mandatory vaccination policies as this is a complex and evolving area that requires employers to strike the right balance between workplace safety and individual privacy and human rights.

Employers are required to tailor their vaccination policies to their specific workplaces, limit the amount of personal health information that is gathered, and ensure accommodations are in place for employees that have a valid reason not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

We assist employers of all sizes draft employment contracts that are industry-specific and meet their business needs. We can also assist in drafting non-solicitation and non-competition agreements that will withstand a challenge in the courts and protect your business on the departure of key employees.
