Influenza. It is the policy of the Employer that all employees shall be required, on an annual basis to be vaccinated for influenza and/or to take antiviral medication for influenza. If the costs of such medication are not covered by some other sources, the Employer will pay the cost for such medication. If the employee fails to take the required medication, he or she may be placed on an unpaid leave of absence during any influenza outbreak in the Home until such time as the employee has been cleared by Public Health or the Employer to return to the work environment. The only exceptions to this would be: a. if an employee is pregnant; or b. upon written direction from the employee’s physician for an employee for whom taking the medication will result in the employee being physically ill to the extent that he or she cannot attend work, in which case the employee will be entitled to use banked holidays or other banked lieu days, and thereafter vacation leave without pay until such time as the employee has been cleared by the Public Health or the Employer to return to the work environment. If the employee gets sick as a reaction to the drug to the extent that he or she cannot attend work or has a severe allergic reaction and applies for WSIB, the Employer will not oppose the application.
