Goldman Sachs Group will require employees and visitors entering its offices to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 starting 7 September.

In a memo to employees on 24 August, the Wall Street firm said it was also instituting a mask requirement for all common areas starting 25 August. Vaccinations are available at many of the company’s on-site health centres, Goldman said, and employees get a half-day of paid time off for each dose. Employees who aren’t fully vaccinated by 7 September must work from home, the memo said.
