The House Labor and Employment Committee will ask the government’s pandemic task force to postpone the two resolutions mandating Covid-19 vaccinations for on-site workers.

Panel chair Eric Pineda said they would submit a letter to the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) to suspend IATF Resolutions 148-B and 149 during the online meeting on Wednesday.

“We will immediately write a letter to the chairman and co-chairs of the IATF informing them that the committee of labor and employment has recommended that they halt until further notice,” Pineda added.

On-site workers must be completely vaccinated, according to IATF-EID Resolution 148-B, which was issued on November 11.

On-site personnel who are still unvaccinated should not be fired, but they must take reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, or RT-PCR, tests “on a frequent basis at their own expense,” according to the resolution.

Meanwhile, according to IATF Resolution 149, all partially vaccinated employees in the public and private sectors who are required to perform onsite work do not need to undergo a regular RT-PCR test at their own expense as long as their second dose is not yet due according to the interval prescribed for the brand of vaccine received as the first dose.

Employers must require their eligible workers who are charged with “on-site work” to get vaccinated, according to the Department of Labor and Employment, but they may not fire other employees who refuse to acquire the vaccine.
