Unvaccinated workers ‘to have $50 a month deducted from wages’ by employers https://www.the-sun.com/money/3453300/unvaccinated-covid-workers-wage-cut/ UNVACCINATED workers are set to have up to $50 deducted from their monthly wages by bosses, according to reports. The charge is to cover extra health insurance costs due to coronavirus. Mercer, one of the largest health benefits consultancies, said at least 20 employers have contacted it in order to add the surcharges. It's an aim to drive up vaccination rates among Americans as the Delta variant recently became the dominant Covid-19 strain. Plenty of retailers and businesses have previously offered freebies, gift cards and cash bonuses as an incentive to get the shot. Getting the vaccine naturally boosts your chances of staying healthy, alongside your colleagues and family members. But there's also a financial reason, as Covid can lead to serious illness and an expensive hospital stay costs the worker and company-paid insurance. This, in turn, could increase health insurance premiums too. Wade Symons, Mercer’s regulatory resources group leader, told USA Today: "Unvaccinated folks have the potential to cost employers more from a health care cost perspective, so they’re feeling they’re justified in that additional surcharge." This would be similar to the $20 to $50 a month employers already charge workers who smoke, he added. In fact, health insurers are allowed to charge smokers up to 50% more for premiums in most states. If you're hit by the maximum monthly charge, this would cost you $600 extra a year. Mercer declined to confirm which companies and sectors are looking to implement the surcharges when contacted by The Sun today. The reports come as CNN last week fired three of its workers by going to the office unvaccinated, meaning they breached Covid protocol. In July, the Department of Veterans Affairs became the first major federal agency to require its health care workers to get Covid-19 shots. Google and Facebook have also implemented vaccine rules for workers returning to the office. Can you get fired if you refuse to get vaccinated? The simple answer is yes, bosses can generally sack you if you refuse to get the Covid-19 vaccine. "Under the law, an employer can force an employee to get vaccinated, and if they don’t take it, fire them," Dallas labor and employment attorney Rogge Dunn said. Although, there may be exceptions if you can't get the shot due to health or religious reasons. If you're fired due to not getting vaccinated, you may also struggle to claim unemployment benefits. This is because refusing to follow a company-wide policy could be considered misconduct.

I think this shit is awesome. If companies wish to charge the unvaccinated extra or fire them, then maybe I'll be able to hire accountants, AP clerks, Operations folks and other positions that are such a pain in the ass to fill. Much less competition! I say bring it!
Versus the more intelligent vaccinated candidates who will want nothing to do with your Covid supporting work place. Yes, you might get less competition for dumber, less skilled people. And better chances of an Covid outbreak at your office. Win win, you'll get less opposition in your round tables when you pretend to have an open mind about Covid.
If you've got data that shows IQ by vaccinated status, not some extrapolated hypothesis you've just created, I'm totally open to it. My guess is you're just gassing as usual.
