Employers are required to provide a safe workplace for employees. As such, employers may implement a policy mandating that employees be vaccinated against COVID-19; however, they must also consider the potential for employee exemptions due to human rights grounds. They should also consider alternative arrangements for employees who opt out of vaccination, such as rapid testing prior to entering the workplace, requiring additional personal protection equipment (PPE), or allowing for remote work arrangements. Under O. Reg. 364/20, employers are obligated to comply with the advice and recommendations of public health officials relating to the operation of a business. In certain regions, including Toronto, Peel, and Ottawa, public health officials have strongly advised all employers to implement a vaccination policy. Read in conjunction with O. Reg. 364/20, all employers in these regions are required to develop a vaccination policy. Note that the provincial government currently requires employers in high-risk settings, such as hospitals and long-term care facilities to mandate vaccination for staff.
