Arkansas is not offering any incentive as of yet, although we are exploring options to do so.

________________________________
Wisconsin is not offering incentives to get vaccinated.  Following is the key paragraph from a message sent to all WI state employees 3 weeks ago (March 3).  Religious objections are subject to the usual process of exploring accommodation.


With limited exceptions, such as for some state employees working directly with patients in in-patient settings or correctional staff, state agencies will not coordinate vaccine access for state employees. If you are currently eligible, we encourage you to talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or find a community clinic with the vaccine in your area. Once vaccine supply is more plentiful and all employees are eligible, we will provide further information about employer-based clinics that will be available to state employees in a manner similar to how we encourage annual flu vaccinations. We anticipate this will likely be in the late spring-early summer.

Good Afternoon!

I know many of us are still awaiting additional guidance from the federal government but are any other states planning to offer an incentive for getting the vaccine?

If so, do you know what you plan to offer?  Also, how will you handle employees who are not getting the vaccine due to things such as religious practices?

Thanks so much for your input!
