Dear David: Can we still require that employees wear masks?

Question:
Can we still require that employees wear masks?

Answer:
You can, yes. While the CDC has announced that those who are vaccinated against COVID-19 may go without a mask in most places, private employers still have the right to enforce mask-wearing policies in their own workplaces, regardless of employees’ or customers’ vaccination status. State and local rules also still apply.
