Description

The law around mandating vaccinations for employees is continually evolving.

Vaccination mandates have broadened and legislation has been implemented to clarify the processes associated with termination of employment in the event that an employer requires individuals in particular roles to be vaccinated.

Employers now also have a choice of assessment tools to determine whether they can justify mandating vaccinations for particular roles.

This webinar will provide further insight into the extent to which businesses can mandate vaccinations, both across the workplace and for their customers and/or suppliers.

It will inform attendees about the most recent developments in this area of the law to assist employers in ensuring they are able to legally justify the decisions they are making.
