COVID Mandate by Jurisdiction review- Monday 20 June at 2pm.

If someone has documented health evidence around their risk of getting vaccinated which would impact their health this is not their 'fault'. Blaming the individual for a mandate decision is not solving the greater problem around individual choice and discrimination based on choices.

The individual and the organisation needs to be accountable. I think that legally it would be difficult to enforce an individual to pay the organisations fine.

If we're given clear info about what the mandates state, and clear info about how to work in the grey areas without risking a fine (E.g. unvaccinated members being able to working non face to face) I believe it should be the individual's responsibility to work in a way that doesn't attract a huge fine.

I think we need to seek legal advice(not HR advice) from a legal company that has a case similar to this, and can provide legal advice to Jeder. In this case, I do not think it matters what opinions members might hold....we cannot breach the law, leaving Jeder exposed .

It is their choice not to vaccinate so I feel their responsibility with the outcomes of their choice

Many of us were hesitant and we sucked it up and sacrificed so much to keep others safe by being vaccinated. I don’t want to be financially responsible for someone else who was not socially responsible. (Legitimate exemptions not included.)

If you don’t meet your state mandate you can work NON face to face = WIN

Knowingly continuing to work face to face NOT adhering to mandate I see as a strategy to challenge the mandate and feel uncomfortable with Jeder being used to pursue or fund this agenda.

Game changer yes BUT activity that puts Jeder at risk makes all members liable to fund lawyers/litigation/fines etc

I am deeply concerned if Jeder is deregistered and the negative impact on participants/members & their families.

Each case needs to be considered with it's own context and situation. An amicable decision needs to be made together.

I’m unsure if we would be able to enforce an individual paying the org fine legally. Concerned this would leave Jeder open to litigation by a Member which could have larger fiscal impact on the organisation as well as registration impacts.

If an individual has a medical reason for not being vaccinated then this should not preclude them from working with Jeder and a case by case decision should be discussed at the Governance Jedi, if the individual makes a choice based on their moral values then I feel that the individual should be responsible for their own fines. While this sounds cold hearted why should those who made the moral decision to vaccinate and the organisation be responsible for fines for those who havent.
