TORONTO — Two of Canada’s largest banks will require employees working in their offices to be fully vaccinated.
Royal Bank of Canada and TD Bank Group both unveiled their policies this week, days after Ottawa asked federally regulated industries to implement mandates requiring staff to get vaccinated.
TD’s policy will ask staff to register their vaccination status with the bank by Sept. 30 and require full vaccination for all workers entering offices on or after Nov. 1.
Those who are not fully vaccinated or do not disclose their vaccination status must complete a learning module about the benefits of vaccination, submit to mandatory COVID-19 rapid testing and wear a mask whenever they are in TD offices.
