Reply To: CAN EMPLOYERS FORCE EMPLOYEES TO BE VACCINATED AGAINST COVID?

[Michael Bagraim]

This could mean dismissal and will be subject to employer policy which must be carefully consulted on before implementation. There are various factors that have to be taken into account before consultation can be completed.
