As more employees return to the workplace, employers may want to know what proportion of their workforce has had their Covid-19 vaccinations.

Questions about the role of vaccinations in employers’ coronavirus health and safety measures continue to be popular. The top question this month looks at the data protection issues around asking about vaccination status.

A number of questions about resignations also feature in the top 10, including on resignation during disciplinary proceedings and whether employees can withdraw their resignation if they change their mind.relx_copyright – This article is Brightmine content – Copyright 2024 LexisNexis Risk Solutions
