A large London Plumbing company, Pimlico Plumbers, is planning on changing their workforce’s contracts to stipulate that they must all be vaccinated. New starters will only be employed if they have been vaccinated. The owner of the company is willing to pay for all of his employees to be vaccinated privately, if this becomes possible and has set aside the funds to do it. Many of his employees will probably welcome the offer but by law he cannot compel an existing employee to get vaccinated, however, and he cannot fire employees who refuse to be vaccinated without being hit by a claim for unfair dismissal.
Is this set to be the new normal in UK employment?
