OSHA Vaccine Rule and Allegheny County Sick Leave Webinar

On Friday evening, December 17, 2021, the U.S. Court for the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals lifted the stay blocking the OSHA vaccine rule. The court found that the potential harm to the health of Americans outweighed the potential harm of requiring vaccines and testing. This means that the vaccine rule is now back in play and companies with more than 100 employees should prepare to comply with it. To give employers time to prepare, OSHA will not start enforcing the rule until January 10, 2022. Given the nature of this rule, it will undoubtedly be appealed to the Supreme Court, so it is important that employers stay tuned for further developments. CTR and Acuity HR will be holding a webinar on January 7th at 11am to cover these developments and how CTR can assist you with staying compliant through isolved.
