Marriott Pay Employees for Vaccine

Marriott Will Pay Employees Who Get Covid-19 Vaccine

Marriott International has created the ‘Vaccination Care Program’, which will provide a financial award to U.S. and Canadian employees at its managed properties who get vaccinated for COVID-19. Employees will receive the equivalent of half a day’s pay upon completion of the vaccination.

Other companies such as Trader Joe’s and Instacart have also announced that they will give their employees extra pay for getting a COVID-19 vaccine.

“To encourage our associates to get vaccinated, we are also providing education on the benefits of vaccination and directing leaders to allow for schedule flexibility for vaccination appointments,” the company said in a statement. “Although the company is strongly encouraging associates get vaccinated, vaccination is not mandated.” Employees will receive the equivalent of four hours of pay upon completion of the vaccination.

Marriott boasts a portfolio of more than 7,600 properties under 30 brands spanning 133 countries and territories. Marriott employed more than 120,000 people worldwide in 2020.

“The health and safety of our people is our top priority. Our goal for the Vaccination Care Program is to remove potential obstacles to getting vaccinated so our associates can put their health first and have peace of mind,” said David Rodriguez, Global Chief Human Resources Officer, Marriott International. “Marriott International is confident that vaccination is a key measure, along with mask wearing, social distancing and stepped-up cleanliness protocols and hygiene practices in minimizing the spread of COVID-19.”

Over 50 percent of consumers in the U.S. see vaccinations as key to travel. Airlines and hotel companies are hoping that with enough people getting vaccinated, they will be able to take advantage of the summer travel season. The TSA expects a spike in travel numbers as well, and they are looking to hire 6,000 more agents.
