Vaccine mandates for federally regulated employees (and various other COVID-19 public health restrictions) have been lifted across Canada.

Alex Lucifero, an Ottawa employment lawyer and managing Partner at Samfiru Tumarking LLP spoke with CTV News Ottawa's Matt Skube to answer this question and more.

1️⃣ What an end to vaccine mandates mean for federally regulated employees - 0:14
• Many employees that were unvaccinated will be recalled back to work. It is important to note that there are federal employees who are unionized and should look to their union for legal representation if they are not called back to work.
• Federally regulated employees who are not part of a union were never part of a government mandate if not part of the travel industry. Employees in these positions will now have a stronger claim for severance pay.

2️⃣ How much advance warning should employers give to employees about returning to the workplace from remote work? - 1:52
• Employers need to give employees reasonable notice, and as much notice as possible for employees in order to prepare to return to the office. Employers do have the right to recall employees back to the office if working from home was a temporary measure as a result of the pandemic.
