New app will help employers verify workers'' coronavirus vaccine status
A tech company is announcing a new health app Thursday that it says will help employers bring their employees back to the office safely by verifying their COVID-19 vaccination status. Why it matters: The app, or others like it, could be a sign of how employers can enforce vaccination requirements without relying on the honor system or hand-checking CDC vaccine cards. The big picture: Most employers aren''t requiring or planning to require employees to be vaccinated against the coronavirus before entering the workplace, per a recent survey by insurance company Willis Towers Watson. But among the 28% of respondents that said they are or are considering some kind of vaccine requirement, more than half will require proof. In addition, some businesses are trying other approaches that make their preferences clear, like giving vaccinated employees certain workplace privileges that fall short of mandates, per the WSJ . How it works: The new app is being offered by Proxy, a company that sells identity technologies.
