Perfect for an incentive, if you ask me. Give everyone who gets vaccinated a paid leave of two days after each shot.

Thank youâŚI havenât had such a good belly laugh in a long time!
This is the United States weâre talking about. Paid leaveâŚhah! It would be too much to ask just to get the time off, unpaid, let alone (oh my, how hilarious) actually PAID.

My company doesnât even pay for jury duty. If I get jury duty (and I get called about every 18 months), I have to use my vacation days! (And for workers without vacation days, they get zero pay for the first day and then $15 per day until the end of the trial. But, hey, at least they get to keep their jobs since they canât be fired for jury duty.

I have to interject, because I saw a bus stop public service announcement advertisement yesterday in San Ysidro, CA (in both English and Spanish) that tells workers they can use paid leave to get their vaccination, or even recover from the effects of the vaccination.

I think CA mandates three days (24 hrs) of sick days for each calendar year (no provision for rolling over days). So yes, you can use an hour or two of your 24 hrs.

Got my first vaccination today!
Now the wait is on for the second appointment. Hopefully it wonât be too long- my city has just opened a third mass vaccination centre to coincide with the opening up of appointments to all adults, now that the high-risk groups have been covered.

Seems every state is different.
Where I work in Illinois the âprofessional bandâ employees must use their own time or paid time off. For âhourly bandâ employees they can get paid for up to three hours to get their shots (they also accrue PTO at a lower rate).

Actually, the chicken plant my BIL works at is doing exactly that to encourage vaccination. There some who get it, even if only in the sense of âit is financially advantageous for us to have a vaccinated work force.â I will take that.

Congratulations, and fingers crossed you can get your second expediently!
We just celebrated ( 4 days ago) 2 weeks post second jab at a cookout hosted by friends. I was worried Iâd be really anxious (or act weirder than usual), but after the first few minutes of re-acclimatizing, it was great.
Fingers crossed for you.

Thatâs good news! @subextraordinaire, you suggest that this isnât an extra, i.e. no incentive for vaccination, but just applied existing regulations, right?
BTW of changes to the world wof working:
âDonât Let Employees Pick Their WFH Daysâ ?
BecauseâŚwait, waht? Women would more likely WFH, and something something something lawsuits? Ok, He putbthe word âdiversityâ in there, but this boils down to lawsuits, doesnât it?

I believe it is, but San Diego thrives on cheap labor, including immigrants, who are exploited and misinformed as far as businesses can get away with it. Keeping workers in the dark helps cut expenses.
The vaccination is free here, and the state and some large corporations like CVS are offering lottery-style incentives, but of course that benefits only a few individuals monetarily.

I guess Iâm now vaccinated against Covid-9.5. Couldnât tell if I felt a bit funny last night, or if my body was just taken by surprise at my decision to flop down on the couch at a point shy of clinical exhaustion. The arm soreness is less than anticipated so far, and even less than my last tetanus shot. So far I can perceive no âinteractionâ between the vaccination and my arthritis, which may not be an actual surprise, but is pleasant anyway.

Yep. There also are supplemental paid Covid-19 sick leave for companies that have 26 or more employees. I believe that both the city and county of Los Angeles have added their own supplemental paid Covid-19 leave.
But as @knoxblox mentions, some businesses will exploit workers and not inform them of their rights.
