Get your organisation prepared for mandatory vaccination rules
Sign up for AGS HR’s service in December and get a 20% discount
As you are aware the Government has announced that it plans to legislate to include the NHS and other healthcare settings in the mandatory Covid-19 vaccination programme that currently applies to care homes and other CQC registered care services. This means that the mandatory vaccine will cover NHS dental practices, domiciliary care, community care and other settings. It will also apply to any pharmacy that undertakes CQC-regulated activities.
The legislation isn’t in place yet but it is likely to mirror the current regulations applying to care homes and is planned to be in place by 1st April 2022. That means you need to consider you options now and start consulting. You may need to serve up to 12 weeks’ notice on employees which means you need to start planning now.
At AGS HR we have supported many employers through this process. On their behalf we have met with over 200 employees to discuss the situation, try to persuade them to have the vaccine and find other solutions where possible. Unfortunately we have also had to dismiss employees for ultimate refusal. We can help to support your business in the following ways:
- Understanding the legislation;
- Developing communications to employees;
- Developing a Covid-19 vaccination policy;
- Changes to employment contracts to include the requirement to be vaccinated;
- Guiding you through the formal process;
- Providing meeting scripts/notes and outcome letters.
You can also outsource all or any part of the process to us.
We understand what a difficult time this is and that NHS funding is tight. As such we are offering anyone that instructs us in December a 20% reduction in our usual fees for our assistance.
