Old Mutual has joined the list of companies that the financial sector union, Sasbo, wants to take to the Labour Court for dismissing employees who refused to vaccinate against Covid-19.
The insurer confirmed to Fin24 that 49 people have left its employ due to incapacity after refusing to vaccinate against Covid-19.
Old Mutual has a mandatory vaccination policy, which it announced in November 2021. It gave its staff up to January 2022 to produce vaccination certificates, and more than 90% of its workforce in SA did so. The alternative for unvaccinated employees was to produce regular PCR or Rapid Antigen Testing results.
