Santa Clara County’s new order requiring businesses to determine their employees’ vaccination status is raising a host of questions as employers Wednesday began figuring out what the rules mean and how to meet a two-week deadline to compile the data before California eases COVID restrictions in mid-June.
Many employers hadn’t yet heard of the order, a first in the Bay Area that could soon free vaccinated employees from requirements to wear masks and socially distance in the workplace. But that freedom would come at the cost of employers collecting medical information and imposing stricter rules on their unvaccinated employees, an unnerving prospect for some.
