Alphabet’s Google advised its staff they might lose pay and finally be fired if they don’t observe its COVID-19 vaccination guidelines, CNBC reported on Tuesday, citing inside paperwork.
A memo circulated by Google’s management stated staff had till December 3 to declare their vaccination standing and add documentation exhibiting proof, or to use for a medical or spiritual exemption, according to the report.
After that date, Google stated it might begin contacting staff who had not uploaded their standing or had been unvaccinated and people whose exemption requests weren’t permitted, CNBC reported.
Employees who haven’t complied with the vaccination guidelines by January 18 can be positioned on “paid administrative leave” for 30 days, CNBC reported, adopted by “unpaid personal leave” for as much as six months and termination.
When contacted by Reuters, Google didn’t immediately touch upon the CNBC report, however stated, “we’re committed to doing everything possible to help our employees who can get vaccinated do so, and firmly stand behind our vaccination policy.”
Earlier this month, Google delayed its return-to-office plan indefinitely amid Omicron variant fears and a few resistance from its staff to company-mandated vaccinations. It earlier anticipated workers to return to workplace for about three days every week from January 10.
