This video provides a summary of the status of the various COVID-19 vaccine mandates, with a focus on Executive Order 14042. Although this federal contractor vaccine mandate is subject to an injunction, covered contractors still have some COVID-related obligations for maintaining a safe workplace that should not be overlooked. We also discuss the importance of good faith compliance efforts, including clear communications to employees regarding their right to request accommodation for those contractors that have moved forward with their policies on mandating vaccines. We note that since this recording (January 13, 2022), the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas also blocked the vaccine mandate for Federal workers.
A special thanks to our charitable committee members for 2021 and to all of the organizations we've supported for their efforts in making the world a better place for everyone.
