The list of employers and government agencies requiring employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 is growing, and such requirements are generally legal under federal law. But employers need to be clear about when exceptions must be made and how state laws can add a wrinkle to their vaccination policies.
Major employers across the country have begun announcing that they will require most employees to be vaccinated. Just a few of those employers are Google, Facebook, Disney, and Walmart corporate employees. Although the Walmart requirement doesn’t apply to store employees, the company has said it plans to begin a process of verifying employees’ vaccine status.
