[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] Global investment bank Goldman Sachs has required all employees to report their COVID-19 vaccination status ahead of resuming office attendance in the United States.

According to the New York Times (NYT) on the 10th (local time), Goldman Sachs stated, "We need to register vaccination status to establish a safe office return plan."

Accordingly, employees were required to register their vaccination status on the company app by noon that day. Although submitting vaccination certificates was not necessary, they had to provide the vaccination date and vaccine manufacturer.

Employees who provide false information are subject to disciplinary actions, including dismissal. The BBC analyzed, "While vaccination is a personal choice, this effectively strongly encourages vaccination."

Goldman Sachs, which employs more than 20,000 people in major U.S. cities including its New York headquarters, aims to have U.S. employees return to the office by the 14th.

Goldman Sachs previously announced that employees who have completed vaccination will not be required to wear masks in the office after returning to work.
