My company just sent out the official word that they are adopting the CDC guidelines allowing fully vaccinated people to not wear a mask at work. They implemented a system of verification so they will not be going just on the honor system. Goes into effect next week when NJ officially allows it.Well interesting meeting, but nothing I didn't already know really. Only the on-site nurse will be validating vaccine status, giving a fake document is immediate grounds for termination. We will not have to do temp screening if validated, but still need to report any symptoms of to the health clinic for decision to report to work or not.
No one except the nurse and HR (would require union rep approval) may request proof by card itself. Any employee may ask someone without a mask to see their sticker proving they are validated. Right now no volunteer EMTs are required to be vaccinated but will continue to follow CDC and Indiana Heath Dept.
Harassment based on vaccination status will not be tolerated and discipline will follow harassment policy. Refusal to wear a mask without validation will result in discipline following health and safety guidelines including and up to termination.
Only one interesting question Someone asked: if they still had to wear a mask because they aren't vaccinated and a vaccinated and unmasked person was proven to have infected them, if they have the right to sue. Plant manager rightfully replied: that would be a question for a lawyer, however filing a lawsuit and having legal basis is not always the same thing.
