1.5 CEUs HRCI | 1.5 PDCs SHRM APPROVED
On September 9, 2021,
President Biden announced a requirement that all federal workers must be
vaccinated against COVID-19. The action goes a step further than what Biden
announced earlier this summer when federal workers had the option of being
tested regularly instead of getting vaccinated. The tightening vaccine
requirement for federal workers comes as the Biden administration is stepping
up its encouragement of vaccine mandates in the private sector as well. The
decision comes as Biden faces pressure to act more forcefully on the pandemic
and the spike on the Delta variant across the nation.
Requiring
Vaccinations for all Federal Workers and for Millions of Contractors that Do
Business with the Federal Government
Building on the
President’s announcement in July to strengthen safety requirements for
unvaccinated federal workers, the President has signed an Executive Order to
take those actions a step further and require all federal executive branch
workers to be vaccinated. The President also signed an Executive Order
directing that this standard be extended to employees of contractors that do
business with the federal government.
Requiring All
Employers with 100+ Employees to Ensure their Workers are Vaccinated or
Tested Weekly
The Department of
Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is
developing a rule that will require all employers with 100 or more employees to
ensure their workforce is fully vaccinated or require any workers who remain
unvaccinated to produce a negative test result on at least a weekly basis
before coming to work. OSHA will issue an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) to
implement this requirement. This requirement will impact over 80 million
workers in private sector businesses with 100+ employees.
