In recent weeks, many large companies have announced vaccine mandates for their employees, including Facebook, Google, Tyson Foods and Microsoft. "With a rapid number of Covid-19 Covid-19 cases of contagious and dangerous variants leading to the increase in severe disease and hospitalization rates among the non-vaccinated population of the United States, this is the right time To move to the next step to ensure aFully vaccinated workforce, "Claudia Coplein, DO, the Chief Medician of Foods Tyson, said in a declaration of August 3rd.
But some hesitant employers are still hesitant to enforce vaccinations, especially as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).has not yet fully approved one of Covid vaccines. Delta Air Lines, for example, stated that this is part of what retains them from the need to require Covid vaccine for employees. "It is very difficult for us to enter and mandate a vaccine that is not even approved by the federal government, theThe authorization has not yet been final, "Bastian, Director General of Delta, told CNBCSafeearlier this month. "So stay at listening," he added, turning on the vaccine could be necessaryOnce the FDA makes this movement.
However, non-vaccinated workers can always be treated differently by their societies in another way, even if vaccination is not required.Wade Symons, head of the regulatory resource group at Mercer, aLarge consulting firm It works with thousands of employers around the world, saysUnited States today that many customers have recently requested howload non-vaccinated employees more for their health insurance.
"It's something we have just started doing questions over the past two weeks," Symons said. "The number of questions has been surprising in the volume. It's something they are more willing to continue. It's less than a mandate."
According to Symons, this increase would be similar to how some employers have a surcharge of smoking workers. The increase in non-vaccinated people could be anywhere from $ 20 to $ 50 each paycheck. "Unvaccinated people have the potential to cost employers more from the point of view of health costs, so they feel justified in this additional surcharge," Symons explained.

Symons sees this extra surcharge, another attempt for companies to encourage employees to be vaccinated, without the mandate. In recent months, various companies offered gift cards, days off, money and other benefits for workers who get their covidation. For example, Walmart has just increased its $ 75vaccination bonus at $ 150.
"Employers have tried to encourage employees to be vaccinated by providing incentives such as paying paid time and money," said SymonsStrong.
According toStrongSymons would not divulge which particular firms requested unvaccinated health insurance increases. But, he said, "With the variant of Delta, by having infections and hospitalizations throughout the country, at the same time as vaccination rates are blocked - we received surveys of at least 20 employers in recent weeks considering addingHealth cover on surcharges for non-vaccinated as a means of chasing vaccination rates in their workforce.
