Supreme Court Workplace Vaccine Mandate Ruling Forces Decisions on Employers
OSHA Rule Unlikely To Survive Legal Challenges
The Biden administration's broad workplace vaccine mandate was put on hold by the U.S. Supreme Court, and legal experts say signs point to the mandate ultimately being struck down.
With the COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing, this forces companies looking to encourage vaccination among their employees to find ways to do that themselves.
Andria Ryan, partner at Fisher Phillips, said the decision to uphold the stay on the mandate keeps the status quo for now. Companies with policies already in place requiring COVID-19 vaccinations and/or testing can keep them. Similarly, companies without those policies can implement them, but they are not required to do so.
