Michigan Law Firm - Warner Norcross + Judd LLP

On November 4, 2021, OSHA issued its Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) requiring COVID-19 vaccinations or weekly testing for covered workers at most companies with 100 or more employees. Warner’s Labor and Employment Practice Group issued details on the standard&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wnj.com/Publications/Additional-Details-OSHA-Issues-Standard-on-Vaccine" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>&nbsp;and the expectations set forth by OSHA for covered employers to:

contentpilot/introduction

Adopt written mandatory vaccination policies for their workplaces; or

core/list-item

Adopt written policies to allow employees to undergo regular COVID-19 testing and wear a face covering at work in lieu of vaccination.

core/list

At least one of the policies is necessary for employers to comply with the OSHA ETS. Although covered employers can alternatively implement partial vaccination policies which apply to only a portion of their workforce while implementing a separate policy that allows testing/face mask obligations in lieu of vaccination for another subset of employees – ALL employees must be covered by compliant policies. &nbsp; The standard took effect on Friday, Nov. 5, 2021, and – excluding its testing requirements – employers must begin to comply with the ETS&nbsp;by December 6, 2021. &nbsp; Although the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a stay which currently prevents the ETS from being implemented, it remains unclear whether the stay will remain in effect. Understanding the pressure employers are under to design and implement these policies, Warner’s Labor and Employment Practice Group has created a comprehensive package of templates to ensure your compliance with the ETS. The templates package includes:

core/paragraph

A policy mandating&nbsp;vaccination or requiring either vaccination or weekly testing and face covering.

Religious and medical accommodation forms.

If you are interested in purchasing the templates for a fixed price of $500.00, please contact your Warner attorney or&nbsp;<a href="/poeple/amanda-m-fielder">Amanda Fielder</a>.
