Vanguard staff who get vaccinated by October could receive a cash incentive from the company, as businesses ramp up safety around the return to work.

The US-headquartered asset manager is offering $1,000 to all employees who get their jab by the fall, Bloomberg first reported. A spokesperson said that an unspecified incentive would be offered to those who “provide Covid-19 vaccination proof”, opting to reward employees “who have taken the time to protect themselves, each other, and our communities by being vaccinated.”
