Vaccination Requirements and COVID Protocols in City Hall: Questions Answered and Lessons Learned

With the Delta variant, formal FDA approval of the Pfizer vaccine, and state and federal vaccine mandates, cities have to navigate a rapidly changing landscape when it comes to keeping their employees safe in the workplace. Join Markowitz Herbold employment lawyers Laura Salerno Owens and Kyle Busse as they answer your questions about how cities can effectively manage vaccination requirements and implement COVID protocols in the workplace.

Laura and Kyle will discuss:

• The ins and outs of requiring vaccines;
• Evaluating an employee’s religious or disability exemption request;
• Health insurance and the unvaccinated employee – Can you charge the unvaccinated more for insurance?;
• Implementing a testing program at your workplace; and
• How to have a productive conversation with your employees about your COVID safety policies.

Cities - what questions do you want answered? Let us know and we will address them in the presentation. Email your questions to KarieTrujillo@MarkowitzHerbold.com no later than Friday, October 8.
