The forum has threads on vax lying, flying, and naming it as a requirement for attending or working in certain types of establishments, but I haven't seen comment here on the legality in Cambodia of sacking someone because they a) were not vaccinated, or, more limited, b) are medically fit to be vaccinated, but refused it when available.
If staff are paid hourly, this might not be an issue, as unless stipulated in the contract, hours could simply be reduced or eliminated, however salaried staff might have legal protections. Any labor law experts?
In the 'Over 50 years banned from teaching' thread, Alexandra posts "The labor law prohibits people with transmittable diseases from working (for example HIV)." (I'm not so sure about HIV as an example, as I know many healthy HIV positive expats who have no trouble getting work permits and work even though their 'positive' status is known to MoL.) In any case, 'unvaccinated' is not equivalent to sick and infectious, yet if MoH or other relevant ministries effectively prevent them from working - if there is no online work for them to do, are employers allowed to terminate?
And, with some similarity, can schools legally sack teachers because they are too old to legally work, ie, greater than 49 years of age. (Mods, your call, maybe this last sentence should be in the 'Over 50' thread.?)
