Amazon to allow work without face masks, require vaccination for paid COVID leave
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/amazon-allow-work-without-face-masks-require-vaccination-paid-covid-leave-2022-02-10/Amazon to allow work without face masks, require vaccination for paid COVID leave
February 11, 2022
Feb 10 (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc on Thursday informed staff at its U.S. warehouses and logistics sites that they must report being fully vaccinated by March 18 if they wish to receive paid leave due to COVID-19.
The company also said fully vaccinated operations staff could work without a face covering starting on Friday as local regulations allow, according to a message to workers that Amazon shared with Reuters.
The online retailer attributed its policy updates to a recent decline in coronavirus cases across the United States, increasing rates of vaccination, and guidance from its medical experts and public health authorities.
The company's status as America's second-biggest private employer, behind Walmart, has added significance to its policies. Amazon had a full and part-time headcount greater than 1.6 million worldwide as of Dec. 31.
