Can One Size Fit All Worksites?
In light of CDC’s updated guidance that suggests facial coverings be worn by fully vaccinated individuals in certain locations, employers with multi-jurisdictional worksites are faced with an immediate decision regarding the approach to facial coverings for fully vaccinated individuals.
A policy providing for facial-coverings would have the benefit of a simple, non-invasive and relatively low-impact approach that aligns with CDC guidance. Of course, this approach could affect employee morale as employees may view a masks-all policy as unnecessarily punishing those who have been vaccinated and live or work in low transmission areas. It could also hinder employees already reluctant to return to the office from doing so unconstrained.
