Biden’s New Plan: Preparing for Vaccination Mandates

Price: $ + applicable taxes

Summary

On Thursday, November 4th, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration finally got the White House go-ahead to release the agency's long-anticipated Emergency Temporary Standard on employee vaccinations. Employers need to know what the ETS says, what it requires and exactly when. The devil is in the details and this event will provide the detailed analysis you need.

Additionally, healthcare providers and government contractors fall under separate Biden executive orders. The moment of truth for many of these organizations is almost upon us.
