Understanding COVID-19 vaccination policy and how it affects your workforce
In a ground-breaking arbitration decision, arbitrator Robert Herman upheld the dismissal of hospital employees for their refusal to comply with mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policies. The decision sets a precedent at the first Canadian arbitration ruling to treat failure to comply with COVID-19 vaccination requirements as disciplinary misconduct and cause for dismissal of a unionized employee.
This whitepaper provides an overview of the vaccine policy, its impact on the workplace, and the key outcomes as a result of the arbitrator’s ruling. It provides details into the legal process and outcomes of the arbitration and how those particular decisions can affect employers of all kinds when it comes to COVID-19 vaccination policies.
