Companies in South Africa are relaxing their Covid rules – and it’s causing problems

“Many employers rely on outdated vaccination status surveys or operate under the misapprehension that their workforce’s vaccination status is of no consequence to their current operations. This can’t be further from the truth,” the firm said.

“A consequence of this new obligation under the new code means that employers who have not collected their employees’ vaccination status ought to collect this information – which ought to include information regarding employees’ booster shots.”The Protection of Personal Information Act provides that a responsible party must take reasonably practicable steps to ensure that the personal information of its employees is complete, accurate, not misleading and updated, where necessary, ENSAfrica said.

An employer may have, based on a risk assessment, deemed it unnecessary to implement mandatory vaccination because of a high vaccination rate in its workforce, the firm said. “If a risk assessment has not been updated since employees have become eligible for boosters, and employers do not know the current vaccination status of their employees, the risk assessment may not reflect the true risk in the workplace and the workplace may not be as healthy and safe of an environment as the employer believes.”
