And the rules don't just stop there!

Delta Air Lines Will Charge Employees $200 Every Month If They Don't Get Vaccinated

Delta Air Lines employees who refuse to get their COVID-19 vaccine will face a bunch of new rules at work, including an extra surcharge on their pay stub.

In a memo to all employees from its CEO, Ed Bastian, all unvaccinated employees are required to wear masks in all indoor Delta Air Lines settings effective immediately.

Starting September 12, any worker who does not get a COVID-19 vaccine will be required to take a COVID test every week. If one of these tests is positive, they will not be allowed in the workplace and must isolate.

Employees who haven't been vaccinated by November 1, and who are enrolled in the airline's health care plan, will be charged $200 each month.

The company says that this surcharge covers the financial risk associated with an employee becoming infected with COVID-19 and then hospitalized. The average hospital stay for COVID-19 has cost Delta Air Lines $50,000 per person, the company says.
