Hellow All.I'm Sr Milisi from INDUSCARE/APPC

Good morning, Megan Veldman, Moore Johannesburg

Betty Lelei, Fountain Healthcare, Eldoret-Kenya

To those that intend to raise questions, kindly post them on this chat space and we will take note of them.

Can you add a clause to your employment contract that indicate it is compulsory and then indicate refusal will lead to immediate dismissal - my view is no that as in any dismissal must be in accordance with a fair procedure, if this is correct then what is the effect of such clasuseI mean clause

If an employee is anti-vax due to religious reason, what documentation (if any) is required to support that

Can the workplace make it compulsory for employees wanting to travel internationally to quarantine on return

on holiday

Can a female that is pregnant refuse

If you are employed by a company that is manufacturing the vaccine - can you insist on vaccination based on the company's stand as well as your job actually being to manufacture this vaccine?

How would one apply that to high foot traffic businesses like Spar or Pnp

Where to people obtain a standard vaccination certificate?

If a person refusesto vaccinate, when he is sick should be given sick leave because vaccination do not prevent Covid 19 totally but incase you fall sick and you are vaccinated, the disease manifestations will be less severe than the unvaccinated. so sick leaves should be accorded

not a question, comment

If employees from another company are working in the same building as my company. Can we make it compulsory for that companies employees to be vaccinated simply because they are sitting in our building and we want to create a safe environment?

Dr, just re not being vaccinated due to medical grounds, we are finding that general GP's are hesitant to givec larity/ medical input as to why an ee cannot be vaccinated - is anybody else having the same issue. How do we resolve?

What happens if a vaccine is not recognised internationally and you do travel? Will you have to revaccinate with a recognisable one? - which are internationally recognised.

if not now but in the future

The pandemic is global, why are vaccines authorised is specific countries than ALL?

excellent presentation - definitely NOT BORING.

So informative, please contact me

Great presentation

I would like to once again ask the question regarding working for a company that is manufacturing the vaccine - should a blanket approach be taken for all, or should it be implemented for staff working on site and directly involved in the manufacturing process?

Very true, words and how it is used makes a immense differnce

For clarity - through a consultation process, the employer is allowed to ask the employee their current vaccination status? What would the steps be should an employee refuse to disclose their vaccination status?

Please may we have Jan Truter's email to request the 12 point framework.

We will send the guidelines from Jan when we send the presentations and recordings

If an employer offers onsite vaccination and an employee has side affects on site would this be considered as "IOD" ?

Thank you

thank you for the practical information

I imagine it would be difficult to convince the employee otherwise if the objection is on constitutional grounds

I love the practicality. thank you

How can the employer comply with OSH Act, if only implementing policies for some of their employees?

For clarity - through a consultation process, the employer is allowed to ask the employee their current vaccination status? What would the steps be should an employee refuse to disclose their vaccination status?

We are running a "lotto" campaign where all vaccinated employees go into a weekly draw to win R5000. Could this become a problem with the courts?

good morning from Carol Lansdell. No mention has been made relating to what about POPPIA

We are offering an overseas holiday to all employees if we hit our number...based on the location employees would need to be vaccinated...would this incentive de discriminatory?

If we start with incentives would we then have to incentivise those that have already gotten their vaccine eg if we would like to give out vouchers?

From a POPI Act perspective, perhaps there are 2 aspects? Disclosure to Employer vs other employees finding out about your vaccination status.

I would like to know if the incentive must be recorded onto the payroll?

Would the incentive not be part of taxable earnings?

Yes any amount is cash must be done on the payroll Cash in hand is taxable
