Dear Hong Kong Monetary Authority,

In light of circulars issued by HKMA regarding Ref: B1/15C, COVID-19 Vaccination Programme and COVID-19 Vaccination and “Vaccine Pass” Arrangements, with the phrase encouraging staff to get vaccinated, are banks expected to take a reward approach instead of a punishment approach (e.g. depleting annual leave and salary)?

Thanks,

Yours faithfully,

Shanghai

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your email.

In light of the global COVID-19 pandemic situation since 2020, the Hong
Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) considered it necessary to remind banks to
strengthen the protection of bank staff and customers and to facilitate
better business continuity so that they could continue to provide
essential banking services even under extreme pandemic control measures.
 As such, the HKMA issued circulars on 1 June 2021 and 28 October 2021,
requiring banks to strongly encourage their staff to get vaccinated as
soon as practicable, and issued another circular on 18 February 2022 to
strongly encourage banks to consider implementing a "vaccine pass"
arrangement for their work place that was appropriate for their own office
settings.

Throughout the process, the HKMA expected banks to take appropriate
measures to implement the requirements of the circulars as part of their
business continuity planning, taking into account their operational needs
and actual circumstances.  Banks were expected to have regard to their
internal company policies in taking any steps in response to the HKMA
circulars and maintain close communication with staff.

Best regards,

Florence Lui
