Employers play a critical role in increasing protection among Wisconsin’s workforce and their families to bring an end to the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccination is the best way you can protect your business, employees, and customers from COVID-19 and resume normal day-to-day operations..
Encourage vaccination among your employees. Vaccine education is key to promoting vaccination and addressing misinformation. Provide information and resources. Hang posters and consider other ways to promote vaccination.
Implement policies and programs that support getting vaccinated, and clearly communicate those programs to your workforce. Under the American Rescue Plan, employers are entitled to tax credits for providing paid leave to employees who take time off related to COVID-19 vaccinations.
Create a culture where getting the COVID-19 vaccine is part of being healthy. Use the suggested resources, policies, and practices in the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation’s (WEDC) Wisconsin Vaccine Guidance for All Businesses to help your employees gain confidence in getting the vaccine.
