Update on Federal Vaccine Mandate

While the recently-released federal COVID-19 vaccine/testing mandate is facing legal challenges, your leadership team is engaging with multiple parties to understand the implications on Schupan and our employees if the requirements become the law. At this point, we still have more questions than answers and are assessing matters such as the effective date, exemption options, face mask requirements for those who are unvaccinated, and testing options for those who choose to remain unvaccinated.

Our company’s current vaccination rate is around 51%. We realize many of our valued employees will be affected if this mandate is implemented. Schupan — like all larger employers — is in a difficult position: while we respect everyone’s personal choice regarding the vaccine, mandatory testing would be burdensome. A higher vaccination rate among employees would be the most beneficial solution. If you are unvaccinated, please reconsider — for the benefit of your coworkers, family, and friends, if not for yourself.

Our COVID-19 vaccination incentive is still in place: email a photo of your vaccination card to [email protected] to claim or donate your $150. If you would like to find a vaccination location near you, please visit this site..

Until further notice, we will maintain all current COVID-19 policies. We will closely monitor the evolving situation and provide detailed updates as more information becomes available.
