Al Thompson had failed to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for his workers, but tied the payment of a special annual bonus related to successful trading in the past 12 months to the vaccination status of his employees, which he had asked them to reveal.</p><p><span id=)
In a follow-up letter circulating on social media, he said 91% of employees received the syringes, with only 17 left who hadn’t and who didn’t get the bonus. Thompson said he will give them another week to think about vaccination and give the company time to decide how to deal with those who don’t get the vaccination.
Thompson said he had not yet ordered vaccination of staff, but his business was the first company to put pressure on its employees and it could get to the point of making the vaccine a condition of employment. He thanked everyone who got their syringes and urged what he called great staff to “stick together” before the country reopens its doors to foreign guests.
While Thompson, one of Cayman’s largest employers, may have the opportunity to prescribe the vaccine as a future condition for new employees, firing unvaccinated employees could be against labor law.
