The public is invited to comment on, object to, or support mandatory vaccinations and vaccine passports for Covid-19 – Click the link below to have your say.

The Department of Employment and Labour issued a directive which expressly permits an employer to implement a mandatory vaccination policy subject to certain guidelines.

  • The workplace plan must be amended to indicate whether the vaccinations will be made mandatory;
  • which categories of employees are to be vaccinated;
  • the manner in which the company will adhere to the Department’s directive;
  • measures to be taken to implement the programme when vaccines becomes available and allowing paid time off for employees to be vaccinated.

This is an opportunity for you to immediately influence this decision before it becomes law.
