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.
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.
