  2. This week, we look at significant developments for employers from across the federal government, including at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

    OSHA Readies Vaccine Mandate ETS

    President Biden is embracing vaccine mandates in his new COVID-19 action plan. Among other mandates, the plan includes a new OSHA-enforced requirement that employers with 100 or more employees mandate vaccines or test employees weekly.

    First EEOC Remote Work Lawsuit Alleges Disability Discrimination

    The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has brought suit alleging disability discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act. This is the first COVID-19-related remote work case where the agency itself has initiated legal action during the pandemic.

    SEC Whistleblower Program Tops $1 Billion in Awards

    Last week, the SEC announced two whistleblower awards that totaled $114 million. With these awards, the SEC’s whistleblower program has now awarded over $1 billion to whistleblowers since its first award in 2012. “For employers, this is a clarion call that you need to embrace best practices and training,” said attorney Greg Keating in The Wall Street Journal.

  4. This week, we look at the renewed focus on mandatory vaccination policies and how those policies may need to shift in light of COVID-19 booster shots.

    President Biden Calls on Employers to Mandate Vaccines

    Shortly after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted full approval of the Pfizer vaccine for those 16 and older, President Biden encouraged private employers to "step up" their vaccination requirements.

    COVID-19 Booster Shots Raise Employment Issues

    Employers with mandatory vaccine policies must now decide whether they will also mandate the booster shots. Some may have to adjust the definition of terms like "fully vaccinated" and designate recommendations versus requirements.

    EEOC Delays EEO-1 Collection Deadline

    August 23rd would have been the deadline for submitting 2019 and 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 data. But on August 18th, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission announced that it pushed the cutoff date to October 25, 2021.
