The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit re-instated the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration's (OSHA) COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS). The ETS requires employers with 100 or more employees to get their employees vaccinated or require unvaccinated employees to produce a negative test on at least a weekly basis.
In addition to requirements for vaccination or negative weekly tests for the unvaccinated, the ETS also requires:
- Companies to pay employees for the time it takes to get vaccinated
- Employers must ensure all unvaccinated employees are masked
- Employers are subject to requirements for reporting and record keeping
- Specific compliance dates
