The Labour Court has delivered a judgment dismissing a challenge to an employer’s vaccination policy.
The employer’s policy required employees to either vaccinate or produce a negative Covid-19 test result within the past 7 days to gain access to its premises.
The court rejected the employee’s argument that the vaccination policy breached or unilaterally changed her employment contract.
The court also found that the employer was not required to consult with employees or their union before introducing the policy, given that the policy did not force employees to vaccinate and was thus not a mandatory vaccination policy requiring consultation.
