Google warns its employees that if they do not get vaccinated first they will lower their salary and then they will be fired
Vaccination mandates have tightened more in US companies, an example of this is Google, which has already announced that employees who refuse to be immunized will lose their pay and, if they continue to refuse , they will eventually be fired.
According to CNBC, through a circulated memorandum it was noted that employees had until December 3 to declare their status of vaccination and upload documentation showing proof, or to request a medical or religious exemption.
The company informed that after that date it would begin to contact to employees who had not raised their status or were not vaccinated, as well as to those whose exemption requests were not approved .
The memorandum reported that employees who have not complied with vaccination mandates before the deadline of 18 January will receive a “paid administrative leave” during 30 days. After that , the company will put them on “unpaid personal leave” for up to six months , followed by termination.
“Any person entering a Google building must be fully vaccinated or have an approved accommodation that allows him to work or come to the place, “he said the company, adding that “frequent testing is not a valid alternative to vaccination,” the technology firm said in the memo.
The position that Google is taking with its workforce goes hand in hand with the federal mandate of mandatory vaccination in order that more Americans are vaccinated and thus avoid the generalization of more infections.
For many months, large employers stopped their face-to-face activities so that their employees could prevent the Covid virus – 19 affected them, but almost two years after start of the pandemic both the federal administration and companies seek that employees return to their daily activities .
With the mandatory vaccination mandate, Google seeks that its employees return to physical offices, at least , three days a week in 2022. And it shows limited patience for those who refuse vaccines, which have been widely available for months.
Google asked its more than 150, 000 employees who must upload their vaccination status to their internal systems, whether they plan to enter the office or not, and the company indicated that it plans to continue the federal government order headed by President Joe Biden.
