As numerous COVID-19 vaccines become available and accessible to the workforce, CAAs across the country and the state of Connecticut are considering whether they have the right to require that their employees be vaccinated in order to re-enter traditional in-person workspaces. In the interest of promoting workplace and employee safety, many CAAs are also considering extending the paid leave benefits that were available to employees under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). Understanding the legal questions associated with implementing a voluntary extension of FFCRA leave or an employee vaccination policy is key to ensuring that these policies effectively protect the safety of employees and the community. In this webinar session, we will discuss some of these questions, including FFCRA reimbursement qualifications, reasonable accommodation considerations, direct threat analysis, and liability for injuries stemming from vaccinations as they pertain to leave and vaccination policies Connecticut CAAs might adopt.
