Live Webinar | Considerations for Employers Handling COVID Vaccine Mandates

Live Webinar | Considerations for Employers Handling COVID Vaccine Mandates

September 28, 2021

President Biden’s administration recently announced its Path Out of the Pandemic action plan. The action plan calls for employers with 100 or more employees to require employees to be vaccinated or submit to weekly tests, as well as requiring vaccinations for federal employees, contractors, and hospitals receiving federal financial assistance. OSHA is required to issue vaccine/testing rules as part of an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS). Until OSHA issues the ETS, many employers are scrambling to understand how the mandates will affect them, what employers should know if considering a surcharge, and how they might prepare for compliance.

The webinar will address the best practices for handling the mandate and surcharge issues, including:

  • Who is subject to the vaccine mandate and how employees will be counted
  • Recommendations on creating policies and procedures
  • Concerns surrounding testing requirements, such as cost and timing
  • Considerations for surcharges as part of a wellness program, implementation of surcharges, and potential ACA affordability issues
  • Reasonable accommodations and exemptions
  • HIPAA considerations

This 60-minute intermediate-level webinar will help employers understand how the mandates may affect their workforces and what they can do to prepare for ETS rollout.
