U.S. Supreme Court set to make decision on workplace COVID-19 vaccine mandate
COVID-19 vaccine mandate penalties are set to begin on Monday.
Last month, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OHSA) said it would not start making decisions related to the COVID-19 vaccine's authorization until January 10th.
A Mid-Michigan attorney says there is still a ways to go when it comes to COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the workplace.
Flint area Attorney Dean Yeotis who specializes in employee law says there is decisions to be made with the federal circuits that will weigh in or decide whether to implement President Joe Biden's COVID-19 vaccine Mandate.
"Right now OSHA has really held back in any enforcement actions, they're not fining people. They said they're not going to fine any employers till late February now," said Yeotis.
This COVID-19 vaccine mandate would impact employers with 100 or more employees.
"The Fifth Circuit, which comprises three states, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas ruled that the federal legislation that President Biden came up with was an overreach, and they put a halt to it, at least on a temporary basis," added Yeotis.
Again MIOSHA says the Supreme Court should have a ruling by mid-January and Michigan is likely to adopt the Federal's OSHA's COVID-19 Emergency Standard for Vaccination and testing by January 24th.
