The topic is about health/vaccine mandates made by a Company, it has morphed away from QF specifically.
Question for you then - if, as has happened, there’s a State order requiring employees of businesses at Sydney Airport to be vaccinated, and it’s a condition of employment that employees work at/fly into Sydney Airport, does that then become an inherent requirement of the job? Making it reasonable to require employees to be vaccinated as a condition of their employment?
I have no idea what your company is Xeptu, it may be perfectly reasonable not to have a vaccine mandate. If, say, it’s an aged care provider for example and your employees were required under State or Federal law to be vaccinated to enter aged care homes though, would you keep employees on in positions where they could not do productive work, or have to make them redundant? Because then you effectively have a vaccine mandate - you could require all new employees to be vaccinated, or existing ones to be vaccinated by a certain date or be placed on unpaid leave as there is no productive work they can do.
