OSHA - 聯邦政府要求大型公司雇主強制員工接種新冠肺炎疫苗



The Federal Administration will require employers with more than 100 employees to mandate vaccines or weekly testing. That is a move that will impact over 80 million workers, according to CBS News.

聯邦政府要求員工超過 100 人的公司雇主要求強制員工接種疫苗或每週進行檢測。據哥倫比亞廣播公司新聞報導,這一舉措將影響超過 8000 萬員工。


The Administration will also enforce fines up to $14,000 per violation for employers not implementing this mandate, according to The Washington Post.

據《華盛頓郵報》報導,政府還將對不執行這項任務的公司雇主處以最高 $14,000 美元的罰款。


The FDA's approval of the vaccines produced by Pfizer and BioNTech gave many employers confidence to implement mandates. After a press briefing hold on Aug 24th, President Biden cited the FDA's decision as a sign that "now is the time" for businesses and other entities to require vaccination.

FDA 批准輝瑞和 BioNTech 生產的疫苗,讓許多雇主有信心執行該指令。在8月24 日舉行的新聞發布會後,拜登總統引用了FDA的決定,這表明公司和其他實體“就是現在”要求接種疫苗了。


Several employers that would presumably be covered by the rule outlined by the White House have already implemented mandates. The list includes Tyson Foods, Microsoft, and Walmart, among others. Similarly, job postings requiring vaccination against COVID-19 increased by 34% on recruiting service Indeed between the first weeks of July and August.

白宮要求所涵蓋的幾家公司雇主已經實施該指令。該名單包括泰森食品、微軟和沃爾瑪等。同樣,在7月和8月的第一周之間,招聘服務公司Indeed上需要接種 新冠肺炎疫苗的招聘信息增加了 34%。


But not all employers or industries have universally moved to adopt mandates. A report last month by law firm Littler Mendelson found that those in the manufacturing, retail, and hospitality industries were least likely to require COVID-19 vaccines, with typical concerns including resistance from employees, loss of staff, and impacts on culture and morale.

但是並非所有公司雇主或行業都普遍採取了強制措施。 根據Littler Mendelson律師事務所上個月的一份報告發現,製造業、零售業和酒店業最不可能需要接種新冠肺炎疫苗,主要的擔憂包括員工抵制、員工流失以及對文化和士氣的影響。


There also may be concerns about the need to accommodate employees who are unable to receive a vaccination, whether due to a medical condition or sincerely held religious belief, which is mandatory by HIPAA and FEHA guidelines.

還有人擔心需要去包容無法接種疫苗的員工,無論是由於健康狀況還是真誠的宗教信仰,這同時也是 HIPAA 和 FEHA 指南的強制性要求。
