According to Senior Minister of State for Health and Manpower Koh Poh Koon, he said that The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will investigate employees who are fired or threaten to do so if they refuse to have the vaccination.
Although the Covid-19 vaccination is strongly encouraged, it is not made compulsory. Companies may have policies that allowed them to ask for the vaccination status of the employee if the line of work or environment post a high risk.
Companies may include vaccination as part of their recruitment policies for new hires, But the company should not be fired or threatened by any existing staff for refusing to take their vaccination nor revealing their vaccination status.
NTUC assistant secretary-general Desmond Choo said on Facebook: “Both employers and employees must maintain constant and transparent communications so that we can build the necessary resilience at workplaces. We have a social responsibility in keeping each other safe.”
