Goldman Sachs requires U.S. employees to report vaccination status

The big picture: Up until now, Goldman Sachs had allowed vaccination status disclosure to be optional. Vaccinated employees have been allowed to go maskless in the office since May, per the Times.

• Now, although they aren't required to show their actual vaccine cards, employees must log the date and brand of their COVID-19 vaccine jabs into an internal company system.
• The bank has been offering employees paid time off to get vaccinated since March and is planning a full return to office in the U.S. and U.K. by the end of June, according to CNBC.

What they're saying: "Registering your vaccination status allows us to plan for a safer return to the office for all of our people as we continue to abide by local public health measures," said a company memo obtained by the Times.

• “As a result, it is mandatory that you submit your vaccination status on the Canopy app, whether or not you are vaccinated," the memo added, per CNBC.
