Wells Fargo Sets COVID-19 Vaccine Deadline For Employees

CHARLOTTE, NC — One of the area's largest employers has set firm rules for employees regarding COVID-19 vaccinations. Wells Fargo has just under 30,000 workers in the Charlotte region.

According to WCNC, employees must get vaccinated by Dec. 4 and those who choose not to get vaccinated must comply with regular COVID-19 testing.

The move comes before a decision to have workers return to the office in 2022, according to the Charlotte Observer. That date could be as soon as Jan. 10; however, the date has been pushed back several times.

The bank offers workers paid time off to get vaccinated.
