Supreme Court to hear the Vaccine Mandate Case January 7th

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear oral arguments regarding OSHA Emergency Rules mandating employers with over 100 employees to have all employees vaccinated. The court did not continue the stay that halted OSHA's efforts. OSHA is requiring that the initial compliance to these rules be met by January 10th, but has extended full compliance to February 4th.

Why is this important?

If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the Biden Administration, this ruling would most likely be expanded to all employers. Members, you should be planning for the worst, and preparing for implementation. These new OSHA standards could bankrupt each and every one of our local businesses if they fail to be implemented. Each infraction has a daily penalty of $13,500 for each non-compliance.

If you have any questions about the OSHA ETS and mandate requirements, the Michigan Chamber has put together a great toolkit - We recommend you review this in advance of the hearing this week. Remember! Proper planning prevents poor performance!
