T-Mobile reportedly implemented a new policy late last week, and it is related to COVID-19. The directive was said to have been emailed to all employees by the company's head of human resources.
In the email, T-Mobile told its corporate staff that it be terminating those who will remain unvaccinated by Apr. 2. The company will fire those who will fail to get fully vaccinated, and the memo was also published online by the blog site TMOnews.com.
According to Reuters, T-Mobile's new policy on COVID-19 vaccination was announced after the U.S. Supreme Court released its ruling on Jan. 13. It has blocked President Joe Biden's vaccination mandate for major companies.
In any case, the memo was addressed to all staff in the U.S., and it was mentioned that workers in retail stores and field technicians are not affected by the company's new policy. T-Mobile said that employees who have not yet taken action to have their first dose will be subjected to unpaid leave. Everyone must submit proof of their first and second dose jab to avoid the company's measure.
Bloomberg was one of the first to report about T-Mobile's decision to terminate unvaccinated corporate staff members. The publication said that the company confirmed the Apr. 2 deadline through its human resource chief, Deeanne King. Employees who only have their first dose of the vaccine against COVID-19 as of Feb. 21 will be placed on unpaid leave.
"T-Mobile's badge-controlled offices continue to be accessible only to those who are vaccinated against COVID-19 and we have shared with employees that we are requiring office workers to be fully vaccinated by Apr. 2," the mobile telecom firm said. "We understand that this is a deeply personal decision for some employees but we believe that taking this step will put us in the best position to protect our T-Mobile community."
Meanwhile, despite the court's ruling to block President's Biden mandate of requiring all employees of major firms to get vaccinated, a number of companies have already proceeded to implement such a rule. They reasoned that this is to protect their workers and make it possible for staff to return to the office.
