With the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines across Ontario, can employers require non-unionized employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to return to the workplace? While there is no clear authority on this issue to date, it is likely that non-unionized employers will be permitted to require COVID-19 vaccinations in certain contexts. This presentation discusses what factors employers should consider when developing a mandatory vacation policy and best practices to enforcing it.
