Question NW2848 to the Minister of Employment and Labour
26 December 2021 - NW2848
Siwisa, Ms AM to ask the Minister of Employment and Labour
What measures have been put in place to ensure that employees (a) are not forced to vaccinate or lose their jobs if they choose not to take the vaccine, given the weekly COVID-19 tests which they are required to take? NW3368E
Reply:
A company that opts for mandatory Covid-19 vaccine policy, such a policy should be in consultation with the employees or their organisation(s). It is in their consultative process with employees or their organisation where they will have to deal with all the details and the implication of their policy choice. Should the employees or organisation(s) feel that the policy choice is unfair, they have the right to challenge such a policy.
