A notice stated that the company would specifically ask for employees who failed to declare their vaccination status and upload the proof of vaccination or applied for an exemption on medical or religious grounds by Dec 3, 2021.
Also those unvaccinated employees who do not abide by the rule before January 18, would be put on paid administrative leave for 30 days and after that the company shall put them on unpaid personal leave for up to six months. Employees who still refused to be vaccinated would then be fired from their respective positions.
