Numbers that speak volumes
If your manager feels that there is a risk to the company’s activity, he can act on this obligation. As our colleagues have explained, your boss is responsible for the safety and health of his employees. Thus the employee must comply with the internal regulations recorded by the company. Otherwise, disciplinary sanctions may be taken.
Conversely, if you wish, you can keep your mask even if wearing it is no longer mandatory at work. In this case, you will be protected from all sanctions. According to the figures of this survey, 27% of employees ensure that their employer has asked them to wear their mask despite the lifting of the obligation.
