Next Steps for Employers

The Supreme Court decision means that employers are no longer facing the deadlines laid out in OSHA's Emergency Temporary Standard, but they still must remain compliant with state and local laws and requirements. Rules relating to employer vaccine, testing, and masking mandates vary widely across the country, making compliance for multistate or national employers extremely challenging.
