UPDATE: On December 18, 2021, OSHA announced that employers will now have until January 10, 2022 to comply with the majority of the requirements of the OSHA ETS, and until February 10, 2022 to comply with the ETS’s testing requirements, so long as an employer is exercising reasonable, good faith efforts to come into compliance with the ETS. Thus the December 6, 2021 and January 4, 2022 deadlines referenced in this presentation are no longer in effect.
A Presentation on OSHA’s ETS released on 11-04-2021
November 11, 2021 @ 7:00 am – 8:00 am
The much-anticipated OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) requiring employers with 100 or more employees to mandate their employees be vaccinated or submit to testing was released on Thursday, November 4, and has already been temporarily suspended by a Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. On November 11, Lerch Early employment attorneys Julie Reddig, Michael Neary, and Nicole Behrman discussed:
- Which employers are covered
- What employers must do to comply with the mandate and other applicable laws
- How pending litigation affects these obligations
