Mandatory COVID-19 Testing Policy

A template for testing either instead of or in addition to mandatory vaccination.

More and more provinces are requiring government workers to get the COVID-19 vaccine. But current vaccine mandates generally don’t apply to the private sector. Although some private companies are adopting mandatory vaccination policies on their own, others simply don’t have the stomach to take that step. That’s a legitimate decision for an organization to make, provided that it comes up with some other way to safeguard against workplace infection. One answer is to require unvaccinated workers undergo regular COVID-19 testing. Here’s a COVID-19 testing policy template that you can adapt in accordance with your circumstances and current public health guidelines.
