Wells Fargo sent a message to all U.S. employees on Nov. 2, 2021. The message said it was from David Owen, the Chief Administrative Officer. And it included details about vaccine requirements for their employees and visitors.

The following are new requirements for business travel effective Nov. 15.

*All employees will be required to be fully vaccinated to travel on company business. This means there must be 14 days after the second dose in a two-dose series or 14 days after a Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccine. Employees must also register their vaccination status with the company.

All employees engaging in business travel beginning Nov. 15 or later will be subject to the requirement. If travel is booked for Nov. 15 or later and employees are unvaccinated, they must cancel the trip and they will be unable to travel while remaining unvaccinated. Unvaccinated employees who are required to travel as part of their job are supposed to talk with their manager for further guidance.

The email also states the, effective immediately, all visitors must demonstrate proof of vaccination to access Wells Fargo administrative buildings, excluding branches and facilities that serve customers.

“This does not include Wells Fargo employees who have been required to be in the office throughout the pandemic or Wells Fargo contractor resources who are assigned full-time to the Wells Fargo location and have a valid Wells Fargo-issued badge. If you plan on hosting visitors in an administrative building, whether they are professional contacts or personal relationships, be sure to inform them of this requirement when making an appointment.”
