The CDC's announcement that fully-vaccinated individuals don't need to wear a mask in most situations was a big step toward a return to normalcy, but it might have complicated employers' return-to-work plans.

"The news makes it so much more complex for companies to navigate their re-openings now," said Brian Kropp, chief of research for the Gartner Human Resources Practice.

The new guidelines don't prevent employers from requiring workers wear masks in the office. And some states and cities still have more strict mask mandates in place. She added that continuing a mask mandate might be easier."If you are going to continue to require the mask, you don't really have to deal with 'has the person been vaccinated or not?' and regulating who wears their mask."

"If you have a jurisdiction that has aligned with the CDC on the most recent guidance, you can have a policy that does not require masks for employees who have been completely vaccinated but still require them for those that haven't," said McLaughlin.
