The blog said T-Mobile's new policy was announced on Friday in an email from its human resource chief to all staff. It follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Jan. 13 that blocked President Joe Biden's COVID-19 vaccination-or-testing mandate for large businesses. "Employees who have not yet taken action to receive their first dose and upload proof by February 21 will be placed on unpaid leave," the blog quoted the memo as saying. "Affected employees who do not become fully vaccinated ... by April 2 will be separated from T-Mobile."
The memo, addressed to "all employees ," stated that the vaccine rules do not apply to field technicians and most in-store retail roles. In a statement on Saturday, T-Mobile said "we are requiring office workers to be fully vaccinated by April 2." It added that "badge-controlled offices continue to be accessible only to those who are vaccinated against COVID-19."Reporting by Vanessa O'Connell; editing by Grant McCoolSubscribe to our daily curated newsletter to receive the latest exclusive Reuters coverage delivered to your inbox.
