A Monthly Report On Labor Law Issues

Volume XXXX, Issue 1

In this issue: The COVID vaccination mandates include three separate regulations that deal with employers of 100 or more employees, federal contractors and certain subcontractors, and healthcare. Despite the controversy, the federal contractor rule, which requires all covered contractor employees to be fully vaccinated beginning on January 4, 2022, has not been stayed by any court. The OSHA ETS, which would have required all covered employers to provide paid time off for their employees to get vaccinated, has been stayed. Moreover, there is a pending lawsuit against the OSHA ETS and the federal contractor rule, as well as litigation concerning the healthcare rule. Therefore, employers are encouraged to plan and take precautions regarding their ultimate responsibilities.
