Employers Respond to SCOTUS OSHA Decision
Employers and government agencies are reacting to the Supreme Court’s January 13th rejection of OSHA’s vaccine-or-test mandate for large employers. Read more.
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.
New COVID-19 Benefits and Employer Policies
While the nationwide regulations have been stymied in court, the federal government is pushing ahead with new national COVID-19 benefits that could affect the way employers prepare for the next stage of the pandemic.
