Employees who have not been vaccinated by Intel will be placed on unpaid leave.

Intel employees who (“unjustifiably”) remain unvaccinated by January 4 will be put on paid leave, as the company looks to comply with the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate for companies with 100+ employees.

To remain compliant, the chip giant is asking its employees to either get the jab, submit an exemption by January 4, or get weekly tests (even if they’re working from home). If they decline all of these options, they will be put on unpaid leave for at least three months. They will not be fired, the company confirmed, and added that they’ll still get healthcare benefits. 

The company will be reviewing exemptions (both medical and religious), until March 15, 2022.
