Starting on Jan. 4, workers at companies with 100 or more employees will either have to be fully vaccinated or submit weekly COVID-19 tests to their employer and wear a face mask at work.
President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for employers with 100 or more employees will take effect in two months, on January 4, when these employees will either have to be fully vaccinated or submit weekly COVID-19 tests to their employer and wear a face mask at work.
OSHA will enforce the mandate through complaints filed with the agency and through “programmed or planned inspections” of workplaces, senior administration officials said. The maximum penalty for a serious violation is $13,653 and the maximum penalty for a willful violation is $136,532. January 4 is the same date Biden’s vaccine mandate for some 17 million health care workers who treat Medicaid or Medicare patients goes into effect. These workers however will not have the option to get tested for COVID-19 in place of getting vaccinated.
