Arguably? Good one Cappy, I like it.

but what would happen if a company, for example, required vaccination?
would this be similar to the already laughable prohibition of terminating someone on a job protected leave?
would the government legislate reinstatement?
a fine?
or would the company just not be able to claim termination for cause or any other defence that would allow the employer to not pay severance

Arbitrators would probably still use the precautionary principle when determining if a vaccine policy is valid. Basically if it is proven that the vaccine is effective in removing a workplace hazard the policy typically gets deemed to be ok. That’s why most workplaces removed their policies during the later waves of COVID where the vaccines were proven to be far less effective.
Personally I don’t think this government will ever legislate reinstatement because the people who pull their strings wouldn’t be fans.
