Can an employer give a reward to employees who have received the COVID-19 vaccine?

Yes, companies can reward employees who have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) notes that federal law does not prohibit an employer from offering incentives to employees who voluntarily provide proof that they have been vaccinated outside the workplace. The employee may have received the vaccine at a pharmacy, at a doctor’s office, or at a public health clinic, for example.
