Do I need to bring back unvaccinated employees who are currently on No-Pay Leave (NPL) due to the company's vaccination policy?

That depends on whether the job role still requires vaccination to be performed. As vaccination-differentiated safe management measures (VDS) have been fully lifted, vaccination requirements are no longer relevant for most jobs.

If the job role still requires vaccination to be performed, consider offering the employee other jobs that do not require vaccination. Ultimately, whether the employee can return to the workplace depends on:

  • The availability of suitable vacancies
  • Mutual agreement on the terms of employment
