COVID Vaccinations and Mandatory Pay

Wednesday, April 28, 2021 On April 21, 2021, Chicago became the latest locale to require employers that mandate COVID-19 vaccinations to compensate certain employees for time spent getting vaccinated. While the new ordinance does not go as far as legislation in other parts of the country, it does create new obligations for employers, whether vaccinations are mandated or merely encouraged. Mandated Vaccines Under the new ordinance, employers that require their Chicago employees to receive the COVID-19 vaccine must compensate those employees at their regular rates of pay, up to four hours per dose,  if the vaccination takes place during an employee s regular working hours. Employers also are prohibited from requiring employees to receive vaccinations outside working hours, or requiring employees to use any available paid sick leave or vacation time toward those hours.

mandate went into effect.  These amendments create a 2021 Public Health Emergency Leave (“PHEL”) mandate for employers with 50 or more employees.  The mandate will sunset upon the expiration of the Proclamation of Disaster Emergency of the Governor of Pennsylvania related to the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 17, 2021, the Philadelphia City Council unanimously passed a bill amending the city’s previous PHEL legislation.[1]  On March 29, 2021, Mayor Kenney signed the amendments into law, effective immediately.  The amendments provide eligible employees up to an additional 80 hours of 2021 PHEL between March 29 and one week following the official termination or suspension of the public health emergency.  Covered reasons for use of available PHEL have been expanded to include leave to receive and recover from COVID-19 vaccinations.
