Nearly 9 in 10 large employers believe some of their workers will quit their jobs over the Biden administration’s coronavirus vaccine-or-test mandate, according to a survey from the Society for Human Resource Management released Monday.
The survey reveals uneasiness among employers over the impending workplace rule, which will require employers with 100 or more employees to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations or frequent testing. They’re most concerned about losing workers amid an extremely tight labor market.
Another two-thirds of employers surveyed said that they cannot afford to pay for weekly COVID-19 testing for unvaccinated workers.
