Benefits include:
Hanover has enacted policies and protocols throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to promote employee health and safety. To that end, all employees are expected to provide true and accurate information regarding their vaccine status, and when requested, employees are expected to provide proof of such status. Hanover recognizes employee privacy concerns and only provides vaccine status information on a need-to-know basis. Various Hanover policies and requirements are connected to vaccine status, including but not limited to, the company’s Facial Coverings and Social Distancing policy and Hanover’s testing program. Employees declining to provide information related to their vaccine status, will be considered unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated for the purposes of The Hanover’s COVID-19 health and safety policies and protocols.
Beginning in January or February of 2022, all unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated employees, who work on-site or who have in-person contact with Hanover customers, agents, or other stake holders (i.e., externally facing), will be expected to undergo weekly monitored testing for COVID-19. Hanover is still exploring cost sharing options, but employees subject to the testing program may be expected to pay some or all of the testing cost.
Please be advised that while Hanover does not expect to institute a vaccine mandate at this time, Hanover encourages employees to get vaccinated and provides paid time off to both obtain and recover from the vaccine(s). Weekly testing is a term or condition of employment for all unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated on-site or externally facing employees. Employees who are entitled to a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act or Title VII (religious accommodation) may apply for an accommodation through the company’s usual processes. Where an accommodation is granted, Hanover will absorb the cost of testing.
