Paychex – a leader in providing human resource, payroll and benefits outsourcing services for small to medium-sized businesses – conducted an online survey of 300 principals of U.S. companies with two to 500 employees. According to the survey results, most business leaders see themselves playing a role in their employees’ COVID-19 vaccinations. In fact, 75 percent of small businesses (10 to 49 employees) and 85 percent of medium-sized businesses (50 to 500 employees) plan to motivate their employees to get the vaccine, in large part because they feel a responsibility as an employer, but also due to the key role the vaccine can have on their businesses’ viability.
Paychex offers several resources to help laundromat owners understand the legalities of a COVID-19 vaccination policy. You can download the recording of a webinar that answers some common questions about the vaccinations. For instance, can businesses mandate them, and what incentives can employees be offered to receive the vaccine?
This recorded webinar offers information on the legal issues of mandatory vaccination and encouraging employees, as well as:
- Equal Employment Opportunity Commission guidance on employee vaccination
- Tracking employee vaccinations
- Post-vaccination considerations
Paychex recorded a podcast on the risks involved in a vaccine policy, plus how government regulations can impact your approach. Paychex also developed a list of FAQs on the COVID-19 vaccine.
