Training Overview
Vaccine/testing mandates can still take effect. Learn how to handle requirements, exemptions, and leaves.
Even without OSHA’s emergency temporary standard (ETS), employers can still require vaccination or weekly testing. Most employers want to institute some type of vaccine program, even if the Supreme Court blocked OSHA’s ETS. Just because the ETS was blocked doesn’t mean employers have no safety obligations related to COVID-19.
Vaccine programs can be an important tool to lessen employee and customer concerns and ensure business continuity. It is essential to establish informed policies and procedures including how to handle exceptions and noncompliance.
You need to know how to respond to unique employee situations, including religious and medical exemptions, leaves to address vaccination side effects, conflicts between vaccinated and unvaccinated colleagues, and countless other scenarios. It is essential to establish informed policies and procedures now so you will be prepared to address the flurry of exceptions that will arise in the weeks ahead.
