NY Post Memo: Staff 'Privacy' More Important Than Vaccines
The New York Post will not require its employees to be vaccinated in order to work from its offices, nor will it ask them to disclose their vaccination status, the company announced in an internal memo obtained by The Daily Beast.
The policy notably differs from the stricter policies in place at fellow Murdoch-owned outlet Fox News.
“At this time, we are continuing our practice of not requiring vaccination nor are we asking employees to identify themselves as having been vaccinated or not,” the newspaper’s management wrote in a lengthy memo sent to all staffers on Friday, emphasizing “a balance of personal choice and privacy while keeping a safe work environment.” Vaccinated Post staffers, meanwhile, will not be expected to wear a mask or produce test results.
The Post will require unvaccinated employees who come to the office to wear a mask inside the premises, except when seated, and take a weekly COVID-19 test. But the company has no knowledge of who may or may not be vaccinated, as it will not require any disclosure. Instead, the paper wrote, “We are using the honor system as we trust our employees will comply.”
