Small number of Waimakariri staff affected by vaccine requirements
From local democracy reporter Adam Burns:
----------
Some staff have been affected by the Waimakariri District Council’s vaccine requirements for “high risk” positions.
Five casual employees who are yet to confirm their vaccination status are no longer being rostered, a council spokesman has said.
A further two permanent part-timers are also being treated as unvaccinated by council and a spokesman says the council is looking at “redeployment options” for these individuals.
There are more than 380 fixed-term and permanent council staff members.
Vaccine passes are required to access aquatic centres, libraries and service centres throughout the district following a council meeting prior to Christmas.
The council says the vast majority of feedback received from residents has been positive.
