The Biden administration is now requiring companies to offer paid time off for employees that receive COVID-19 vaccinations.
OSHA's new rule is not only a move to increase vaccination rates across the country. It will also be a key part of a new federal rule that could determine how big a company has to be in order to require vaccination or regular testing. For this ruling, any company with over 100 employees is considered a large company.
OSHA's proposed policy will require large U.S.-based companies to provide their employees with paid time off to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and recover from vaccine side effects. Further updates will be released by the Biden administration in the coming days.A syringe is prepared with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at a clinic at the Reading Area Community College in Reading, PA.
