As the UK continues to battle high rates of transmission and new variants of the COVID-19 virus, the phased rollout of the vaccine has provided a light at the end of the tunnel for business owners, who’ve faced a gruelling year of lockdowns and uncertainty.

Naturally, your priority will be to get back to business as safely as possible. And as an employer, you’ve probably got loads of questions about whether or not you can make testing and vaccination compulsory for your employees.

This is actually a very complex area of law, so our HR and Employment Law experts have taken some of the most common questions we’re getting from business owners and compiled this Q&A, giving you an overview of your legal obligations, answering questions including:

• Can I make my employees get the COVID vaccine?
• What do I do if my employee refuses to tell me if they’ve had the COVID vaccine?
