future of vaccine mandates

With the rise of the COVID delta variant and with as many as 30% of the US population reluctant or unwilling to take the vaccine, is it time for private business to act by making it a requirement of their employees?

On The Small Business Radio Show this week, Joel Libava who is the self-appointed “Franchise King” believes requiring your employees to be vaccinated is essential for the future of your company especially 18 months into the pandemic. In fact, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) ruled that “employers can legally require COVID-19 vaccination for employees to re-enter the workplace and can provide incentives to encourage employees to get a shot.” Many government agencies and large employees like United Airlines and CVS are requiring all employees to get the vaccine in order to return to the workplace. This is especially important for companies that require their staff to be in person to serve customers.

Joel Libava on Vaccine Mandates at Franchise Businesses

Requiring vaccines is supported by most workers (52% according to a recent Gallup poll), but alot of  the workforce (29%) is strongly opposed, With all the vaccine hesitancy in the country, Joel believes small business owners need to step up and take it into their own hands. He says that “if individual franchise owners do not require vaccines for all their employees, they might lose their businesses; if it’s going to be like last winter, more businesses will close.” He thinks that companies need to look long term; “they are already short on staff and can’t afford employees to be out sick”.

This step is not without its challenges. Joel insists that “it will take a lot of courage – a lot of employees are going to balk at this-they will have to risk losing employees (which they are already short on) but if we don’t do this, we will never get out of this pandemic”. Joe knows we need to make accommodations for employees that have health or religious issues.

Joel discusses that the vaccine has become too political; “we have already had vaccine passports- the yellow cards each child needed to have with all the vaccines before they went to school!”

https://ift.tt/3qSH1Ig Nos encontramos ante un contexto económico y empresarial sin precedentes en nuestra historia moderna . La crisis provocada por la pandemia ha hecho que el Gobierno se haya visto obligado a poner en marcha una serie de medidas con el fin de preservar la financiación de pymes y autónomos y evitar que una crisis de liquidez pueda poner en riesgo su viabilidad, entre las que destacan los créditos ICO . Sin embargo, la banca no lo está poniendo nada fácil . Según las últimas estadísticas del Banco de España , correspondientes al mes de enero de 2021, la TAE de las nuevas operaciones de financiación de cuantía inferior a los 250.000 euros, que se suele asociar con las pymes y los autónomos, se situó en enero en el 3,48 por ciento TAE, casi un punto más que en el mes de diciembre de 2020 (2,55 por ciento TAE). Este repunte se explica fundamentalmente por un mayor volumen de comisiones aplicadas en los préstamos y créditos bancarios. De hecho, el TEDR (la TAE excluyen...

Colorado High School Coach Says He Was Forced to Resign Because He’s Gay

-
https://ift.tt/Oj01b3 Colorado high school students are demonstrating in support of Inoke Tonga, a volleyball coach who claims he was forced to resign from his job because of his sexuality.  According to the  Denver Post , Tonga left his position at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, where he had coached the volleyball team during the 2020-2021 school year. The coach said he intended to continue his role for the upcoming season, but was essentially pressured to leave his job after school administrators found out he was gay through his social media activity. Tonga says administrators had called him in for a meeting, in which they expressed their concerns over his sexuality and the affect it may have on the students. “I sat in the room being grilled about how being gay is a ‘danger’ to the school and to the kids,” Tonga wrote on Instagram. “That with me ‘identifying as a gay man, they can’t put the kids at risk by having me in front of them.’” He cont...
