Covid vaccination and employment

[lightand]

I am seeing some posters who are saying that if a person refuses the covid vaccination, they may not be employed at such and such company, may not enter someone's house in the case of say a contractor or plumber, may not enter a building etc.

I am just asking generally, not for anything or anyone specific.

Where does the law stand currently please?
People mention disability act, employment rights, equality act, religion, health discrimination etc etc.
To my mind, it all comes down to legality in the end. And I presume that that is untested as regards the covid vaccination. Or is it? Are there precedents in UK law?

@lightand no, the other thread mentioned here about an employer asking about employees who refuse to take the vaccine.

Lots of care workers belong to communities that are sceptical about vaccinations.

I’m not sure it would be reasonable for all employers to say new employees must be vaccinated but certainly care/medical ones could and should. Why would they want the continued absences Covid isolation means? It makes no sense for the patients or the elderly.

He did make a case for industrial tribunals coming down on the side of employees in certain circumstances but I thought a couple of them were dodgy logic! Vaccination after effects sounds like Wakefield all over again. There will have to be cast iron proof for this to get anywhere. Ditto human rights. Very difficult when employees are tested for all sorts of things now. The court of public opinion might want care/nhs workers to be vaccinated asap. People might want their fellow workers vaccinated too. The minority might not win but I’ve no doubt cases will pop up.

He is expecting employment tribunal cases to be heard end of this year, and 2022.

That’s a long time to be out of a job. These cases are so far behind now.

You mean there are a lot of them in the pipeline?

Sounded like they always take about a year.

I have searched, including Advance search, and I cant find the thread I was talking about. Sorry.
It was about a woman, who I think posted today, and I think is a carer?
A woman at her workplace was sent home yesterday I think for coughing, sneezing etc, then allowed back to work today because as the employer put it, or it could have been her, she had been tested by a paramedic and her test was negative. Something like that. It does occur to me as I write this, that perhaps the thread got zapped??

Found it!

I work for a private home care company. We’ve all had our vaccines bar a few people, it was said in the forms that it wasn’t a legal requirement and the vaccine could be refused if your wished.
