What is the deadline to pay the non-vax employee fine? If employers offer to allow employees to pay the fines, can employees use this fine payment as a tax deduction? Would employee's paying this fine as a [now] "required" work related expense qualify for tax deductions?
What I am trying figure out, is if there is a legal way for a company to beat the mandate game by playing along with the fines, but shielding the employees (or the company) from being actually hit by fine payments.
It's unconstitutional, companies should respond with a middle finger
I agree that it's unconstitutional. What I am trying to figure out is if a company wanted to give the middle finder to Fauchi/OSHA, is there a way for the company to offer to pay the fine, but defer the cost of paying the fine in such a way as to not feel the sting of the fine- through tax deductions, investments into some kind of fund, or some other way.
Either way, I still believe that a company should be required (under the "reasonable accommodations" legal clause) to offer employee's an alternative option, besides the "get vaxxed, or get fired, or pay for weekly tests" options.
