RECOMMENDATION:
a. Receive a report from the Human Resources Department on County-wide compliance with COVID-19 vaccination mandate.
b. Provide other direction to staff.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On July 30, 2021, the Board of Supervisors took action requiring that all employees, including full-time, part-time, temporary, volunteers, interns, per diem, and teleworking employees whether working indoors or outdoors, be fully vaccinated and complete the employee certification of COVID-19 Vaccination Status. On October 5, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved revising the date for employee certification of COVID-19 vaccination status compliance to October 15, 2021; and vaccine compliance (excluding employees under State Mandate) to October 31, 2021.
Human Resources professionals are working closely with employees and departments' administration in order to meet vaccine compliance by October 31, 2021 (i.e. reviewing and processing of exemption requests and gathering proof of vaccination). As departments' compliance data is changing on a daily basis, the Human Resources Department will have the final County-wide compliance data to report during the timed agenda item. The information will be provided in the aggregate only for each department, and no personal identifying information will be disclosed.
The Human Resources Department welcomes direction from the Board.
