On December 6, 2021, New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio announced a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for all New York City private-sector employees, the first mandate of its kind for a major U.S. city. On December 15, 2021, New York City issued guidelines relative to the mandate. Beginning December 27, 2021, employees in New York City who perform in-person work or interact with the public must show proof that they have received, at a minimum, the first dose of a primary series (Pfizer or Moderna) or a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine. Employees will then have 45 days to show proof of their second dose for Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. Employers are required to post a signed affirmation of compliance with the vaccine mandate by December 27, 2022. This mandate applies to all employers, regardless of size.
Employers may not allow any unvaccinated employees to report to their physical workplace, unless they have requested and received an accommodation. A physical workplace is considered any location where an employee works in the presence of at least one other person. Unvaccinated employees may enter their physical workplace briefly and quickly for a limited purpose, e.g., to use the restroom, make a delivery, or clock in and receive an assignment before leaving to begin a solitary assignment.
