While many office-based workplaces have successfully adapted to home working during the pandemic, this has not always been possible and some organisations have expressed a desire for their staff to be vaccinated as a workplace requirement.Acas has accordingly published advice on getting the coronavirus vaccine for work.The new guidance from Acas aims to help employers support staff to get the vaccine, whilst maintaining good workplace relations and avoiding unnecessary conflict.Available here, the guide suggests that support can include paid time off for staff to attend vaccination appointments or if they are off sick with vaccine side effects for a few days.Employers that are having open discussions with their staff about the vaccine can support them to protect their health, maintain good working relationships, avoid disputes in the future.In short, Acas advice is that it is best to support staff to get the vaccine without making it a requirement.If an organisation feels that vaccination is a necessary requirement for someone to do their job then they should work with staff or the workplace’s recognised trade union to agree this.
