In this episode, Chase Cannon and Suzanne Spradley outline the Biden administration’s recently announced vaccine mandate and COVID-19 testing alternative for employers. Chase begins with an overview of the mandate, the testing alternative and which employers are impacted by the requirements. The two spend the rest of the podcast issue spotting for employers — discussing questions that will hopefully be answered in upcoming OSHA guidance. Suzanne and Chase close with a discussion of the vaccine mandate’s impact on benefits compliance, including vaccine surcharges and paid time off for vaccines and testing.
