Training Overview
Will you penalize unvaccinated workers? Learn how companies are covering rising costs while encouraging vaccination.
Delta Air Lines announced that the company will raise health insurance premiums for unvaccinated employees by $200 a month. They explained, “This surcharge will be necessary to address the financial risk the decision to not vaccinate is creating for our company.” Delta is also limiting pay protection to fully vaccinated people who experience breakthrough infections.
Due to the FDA’s full approval of the Pfizer vaccine and the surging COVID-19 Delta variant, organizations are becoming more aggressive about vaccination mandates, rewards, and penalties. You need to explore the changing circumstances and legal implications quickly to determine what policies to implement in your organization.
