Employers will have to pay for “time for vaccination” which includes up to 4 hours paid time including travel at employee’s regular rate of pay and time for recovery from any side effects.
Non vaccinated (no shots at all, 1 shot, or less than 2 weeks after second shot) must be tested once every 7 days. If non vaccinated does not get tested, they are required to be removed from the workplace until they provide a test result. We will also have to keep records of all tests until the ETS has been dissolved. At that time, all records can be destroyed. OSHA does not require employers to pay for the testing, however there could be local/state laws that do require it.
OSHA put in a disclaimer that employers have to use a covid-19 test that has been cleared, approved, or authorized by the FDA to detect current infection. which I recall the current test must stop being used by the end of 2021. Not sure what test they will force us to use next. Not sure if there is even a test. That might be their way of saying sorry, no tests, you must get the shot now.
Employers have to establish, implement, and enforce a written MANDATORY vaccination policy.
Employers have to create and maintain a vaccination status roster of each employee. Which is also applicable to legal requirements for confidentiality of medical information.
I just reviewed the unpublished OSHA doc.
