Are Employers Offering Incentives to Employees to Get the Covid Vaccine?

NAOHP Board member Mary Alice Ehrlich posed this question to other board members and her area employers recently:

“I’ve had 2 inquiries today of local W. MI employers asking if I can direct them to an employer that has instituted an incentive program, such as a cash bonus payment for proof of COVID-19 vaccination.

Please share any information with me, I can certainly keep the employer id. confidential. I have seen in the media that there have been some incentives but thought they were not too common.”

She received the responses below and remarked:

I thought the info I’ve received re incentives worth sharing. Please see attached. Not a scientific survey but just good people sharing info.

The top ‘employers’ are the NAOHP Board members that sent a response and the numerous West MI folks are area employers, all of these folks are on 1 of the 2 Advisory Boards that our organization has, one for each major market/service area. Fascinating findings ranging from 0 incentive to substantial items.

Stay well,

Mary Alice
