While some companies and organizations have offered a little "bonus" or kickback for getting your vaccinations, there's a nasty flipside to this that could hit home very soon. FORBES 

Mercer, a LARGE employee benefits consultancy that deals with thousands of employees world wide, says that there are companies that are planning on going as far as taking $50 from your paycheck if you aren't vaccinated. What??? Check this out:

“Employers have tried encouraging employees to get vaccinated through offering incentives like paid time off and cash, but with the Delta variant driving up infections and hospitalizations throughout the country – at the same time that vaccination rates have stalled – we have received inquiries from at least 20 employers over the past few weeks who are giving consideration to adding health coverage surcharges for the unvaccinated as a way to drive up vaccination rates in their workforce" - Wade Symons, Mercer’s regulatory resources group leader

What would you do if your employer approached you with this type of situation? Get your vaccination shots or you OWE US $50 a pay period?

Now Mercer isn't releasing the names of the companies that are doing this, but if this giant benefits company is seeing this happening...it will go down for sure.
