On Jan. 13, 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled to stay the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) vaccination and testing emergency temporary standard (ETS). The ETS was developed to
establish a mandatory vaccination policy requirement for private employers with 100 or more employees.

Given this new stay, employers are not required to comply with the OSHA ETS vaccination and testing mandate at this time.

Important Dates:

  • Dec. 17, 2021
    • The 6th Circuit reinstates the ETS.
  • Jan. 13, 2022
    • SCOTUS stays the ETS and sends it back to the 6th Circuit.
