OSHA is suspending the enforcement of Biden administration's vaccine rule
The Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) said it is suspending the enforcement of the Biden administration's vaccine rules that require large employers to either have their workers vaccinated or undergo regular weekly testing. OSHA posted the announcement on its website and added that it "remains confident in its authority to protect workers in emergencies."
The agency's decision to stop the rule comes after a federal appeals court reaffirmed an earlier temporary halt to the Biden administration's vaccine rule on Friday and ordered OSHA to stop implementing the regulation. Meanwhile, businesses across the country have questions about what this means for the new vaccine rule, a 490-page order with complex requirements that experts say will require time and effort to ensure compliance. According to the original plan, all employers with more than 100 employees must decide by December 5 whether their workers must get fully vaccinated or undergo weekly testing. By January 4, they must implement the rule. Employment attorneys say that they encourage businesses to move forward with compliance to avoid being caught unprepared if the regulation, also known as emergency temporary standard (ETS) withstands legal challenge.
