President Biden recently announced proposals to combat the COVID-19 pandemic more aggressively, including plans for a new rule requiring employers with 100 or more employees to mandate that their workers be vaccinated or undergo weekly testing. In anticipation of the final guidelines and to protect the health and safety of our employees and residents, AMLI has determined that achieving a 100% vaccination rate as soon as possible is our best course forward. AMLI is requiring new hires to be vaccinated before they begin employment and if not vaccinated, initial shot before 1st day and fully vaccinated (both shots for Pfizer & Moderna or 1 shot for Johnson & Johnson) within 30 days of hire date.
