- General Motors Co will require its U.S. salaried employees to report if they have received COVID - 19 shots, the automaker said on Thursday as companies navigate through how and when to reopen office amid rising cases of the Delta variant.
GM is the first of the automobile maker in Detroit to offer such a decision, as several U.S. companies mandate vaccines for employees returning to office premises. Some have also taken measures such as wearing masks to make workplaces safer.
The automaker represents more than 48,000 salaried workers in the United States, out of which about 46,000 were represented by unions, as per its annual regulatory filing.
GM earlier this month implemented an expanded vaccination status reporting process that was mandatory for all U.S. employees. The company said this information was collected through a confidential online tool.
