New COVID Vaccination Mandates for Employees: What Employers Need to Know
On-Demand Recording
Summary
The just-released vaccine and testing mandates from the Biden administration are leaving employers scrambling and asking what’s required now.
And with the Department of Labor’s (DOL) Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) developing an emergency temporary standard (ETS) targeting companies with 100 employees, over 80 million workers and their employers are impacted.
What do these new mandates mean for employers, what are the costs, and what are the risks for non-compliance?
Join legal expert Dr. James Castagnera for clarification on when the new mandates are going into effect, and steps you can take now to prepare your workforce. We’ll take a close look at the legal implications and provide guidance for developing legally effective protocols.
In this 90-minute program you’ll learn the following:
- OSHA’s new vaccine and testing requirements for federal and large employers
- The role ADA and Title VII play in employer vaccination mandates
- Key considerations when creating mandatory vaccination or testing protocols
- Addressing employees who object to vaccinations on religious grounds
- Using incentive programs to encourage employees to get vaccinated

- Identify effective legal defenses should your vaccination strategy lead to a legal challenge
Get answers to key questions employers are asking including:

- What happens if we mandate an employee be vaccinated and they have an adverse reaction?
