The Biden administration plans hefty fines for companies that fail to comply with its COVID vaccine and testing mandates after they come into force on January 4.
Each employee who breaks the rule will cost their bosses $13,653 per violation, with heavier fines of up to $136,532 for "willful violations," according to a White House media briefing on the rules.
The full text of the rules is due to be published later.
The rules required that employees at companies with more than 100 staff have to get vaccinated against COVID-19 or be tested weekly for the disease and wear a mask at work.
The rules and their enforcement are being overseen by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
The mandate applies to 84.2 million workers at 1.9 million private sector companies, said the OSHA.
Jim Frederick, deputy assistant secretary of labor at OSHA, told CBS News that "We know that the vast majority of workplaces will be in compliance."
