Decision details

Decision Maker: Chief Executive

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

This supports and forms part of the employee well-being programme we offer to our staff.

Decision:

To continue to offer to staff in line with our employee well-being programme reimbursement (to offer eligible staff*) for the costs for the flu vaccination.
Staff will arrange their own vaccination via their provider and then submit a request for reimbursement. The current cost for the vaccination is around £16.99.
*This benefit is only available to permanent and temporary staff, including apprentices, who do not currently receive a free NHS flu vaccination from their health care provider.

Alternative options considered:

In previous years clinics have been set up at Town Hall for staff to receive their vaccination directly from a vaccination team. Over the last few years due to covid restrictions it has been necessary to change the approach. Now officers are working in more a hybrid manner this has again been considered the best option.
