The federal Occupational Safety & Hazard Administration (OSHA) has issued their Emergency Temporary Standard for COVID vaccine and testing applicable to all private employers with 100 or more employees. The effective date of the “30 day clock” is November 5th, 2021 and the date for compliance is December 4th, 2021 with final implementation on January 6th, 2022.
