OSHA Issues Deadline for Vaccine-or-Test Mandate: January 4

President Biden’s mandate that companies with more than 100 employees vaccinate or test their employees weekly now has a due date.

Private companies included in the rule  now have until January 4, 2021, to ensure their workers are vaccinated or receive regular tests and wear a mask, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which said it would release the rule November 5.
