The Deadline is Approaching: Are You Ready?
In just days, most Federal employees will face a deadline for providing their agencies proof of COVID-19 vaccination. If we had to choose a theme for the past 19+ months, the word “unprecedented” would be high on the list. In addition to (still) facing pandemic-related challenges in fulfilling mission, while managing a larger-than-usual mobile workforce, agencies are inundated with requests for exemptions, questions about vaccine enforcement, and more.
On Wednesday, November 3, join instructor Katie Atkinson and me for a half-day virtual event where we tackle complicated scenarios and answer all your questions about the disciplinary, EEO, reasonable accommodation (religion and disability) and LR implications from Executive Order 14043, along with the most updated guidance from The White House, OPM, the EEOC, and more. Registration for The Exemption Proves the Rule: Reasonable Accommodation, Discipline, and the Vaccine Mandate is open, and group discounts are available.
This month, we tackle last chance agreements for those who refuse vaccination, as well as fixing the EEO process, setting expectations and much more.
