On May 28, 2021, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) published long-awaited updates to its guidance on EEO-related issues stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Among other things, the EEOC’s updated guidance confirms that employers generally may require their workers to get vaccinated as a condition of employment and may even offer financial and other incentives to encourage workers to get inoculated voluntarily.
As welcome as the EEOC’s new guidance is, several other important legal and practical questions remain, especially for businesses that are moving rapidly to shore up their post-COVID return-to-office workplace plans and procedures.
In this rapid-fire session, panelists answer questions on many of the practical issues facing businesses as we begin to return to a post-pandemic workplace.
