Your guide to rolling out a vaccination policy

Attend our employment and labour lawyers Chris Drinovz and Mike Weiler’s complimentary webinar and learn how to implement a vaccination policy that’s right for you.

The pandemic has caused both novel and challenging employment law shifts.

One important question to consider is whether a vaccination policy can be implemented at the workplace.

Join Chris and Mike for a lunch and learn to hear discussion and tips on the following topics: 

  • Vaccination Policies
  • Workplace Closure Orders
  • New BC Covid-19 Related Paid Sick Leave
  • Case Law Updates
  • BC Workplace Rapid Testing program

All attendees will receive a Guide to Implementing a Vaccination Policy!
