For months, many employers have attempted to coax workers into receiving a Covid-19 vaccine.

While most employers haven’t flat-out ordered staff to get vaccinated, many are asking workers to report their vaccination status or are implementing policies that restrict the activities of unvaccinated workers.

The Wall Street firm, which hasn’t mandated vaccines, has told staff that fully vaccinated employees who have registered their status can work without masks in its offices.

CRM 2.48% is initially inviting fully vaccinated workers who have disclosed their status to come back to offices in places such as San Francisco and New York, in groups of about 100 people at a time.

employers can require all workers entering a workplace to be vaccinated against Covid-19, though they need to provide reasonable accommodations for those who are unvaccinated because of a disability or religious belief, the EEOC said.

The Houston Methodist hospital network recently suspended 178 employees who didn’t meet the hospital system’s early June deadline to be fully vaccinated, according to an internal email shared with staffers.

Companies are generally within their legal rights to ask employees if they have been vaccinated, employment lawyers say, and employers are using a range of tools to do so.

ADP -0.24% plans to soon offer a feature in a digital, return-to-office dashboard that will allow workers to upload images of their vaccination cards—if employers request them—and to note whether they have been fully or partially vaccinated, or not at all.

At Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co., vaccinated employees have started to return to the company’s Springfield, Mass., headquarters to attend in-person meetings on a case-by-case basis and can remove their masks, CEO Roger Crandall said.

The company plans to open some offices on a voluntary basis for fully vaccinated staff later this month.

Employees weren’t asked to provide proof but to notify the firm’s human resources director when they were fully vaccinated to help determine when it could reopen its offices or schedule more in-person gatherings, said Susan E.
