Bank of Montreal is offering employees three hours of paid time off to receive the Covid-19 vaccine when it’s available to them, and will pay for some costs associated with getting the shots.
The bank will foot the bill for expenses such as administration fees not covered through public health plans or government agencies, Chief Executive Officer Darryl White said in a message to employees on Monday. The company has no plans, however, to require that employees get vaccinated, according to the memo.
