Air Canada said that it has enacted a Return to the Workplace Plan to transition employees working remotely safely back into the workplace, beginning November 15. The plan, developed in compliance with Public Health Agency of Canada guidelines, uses a hybrid approach combining on-site and remote work options to give employees flexibility and confidence as they return to their pre-pandemic work routines.

Beginning November 15, those Air Canada employees who are presently working off-site will start a graduated return to the workplace, with options to continue working set days remotely. To ensure the health and safety of employees in the workplace:

• A mandatory vaccination policy requires all active employees to be fully vaccinated
• All visitors and anyone entering company buildings are required to be fully vaccinated
• Employees will be strongly encouraged to wear a face mask whenever outside of their personal workspaces or when interacting with others
• Physical distancing is required where practical
• Home screening programs continue to be offered and their use encouraged
• Hand sanitizer and disinfection products will continue to be readily available
