How to use this COVID-19 employee vaccination policy and example
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has finalized its emergency temporary standard (ETS), which strongly encourages vaccination to protect unvaccinated employees of large employers (100 or more employees) from contracting COVID-19.
Covered employers may soon be required to create, apply, and enforce a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy for all employees, or adopt a policy that requires employees to either get the vaccine or wear a face covering at work and submit to weekly COVID-19 testing.
This policy is customizable, so you can adopt it for either (1) mandatory vaccination or (2) vaccination and masking/testing.
