COVID-19: Delta to levy surcharge on unvaccinated employeesBloombergDelta Air Lines Inc is to impose a US$200 monthly surcharge on employees who are not vaccinated against COVID-19, becoming the first major US company to levy a penalty to encourage workers to get protected. Increasing cases of COVID-19 linked to a “very aggressive” variant are driving the push for all employees to get the shots, he said. A Delta Air Lines Inc plane flies near a COVID-19 testing sign as it approaches Los Angeles International Airport on Wednesday. In May, Delta became the first major US airline to require new employees to be vaccinated. Delta also said that starting Sept. 30, the airline would preserve full pay for fully vaccinated workers who still get sick and might end up on short-term disability.
