  Team, Tomorrow, January 7, 2022, the Supreme Court is set to review Biden’s Covid- 19 vaccine and testing mandate.  One measure requires companies that have 100 or more employees to implement a vaccination requirement or impose a masking and weekly testing   regime for employees that are unvaccinated.  The Supreme Court must decide whether to block the requirements while legal battles continue, or to let them be implemented during that time.  Unless something changes, Muth must continue to prepare for the mandate beginning next Monday, January 10 th with the current information we know today.  Beginning Monday, January 10, 2022, Muth will follow the process below: Any employee who is unvaccinated for any reason—including for medical or religious reasons—must wear a face covering at all times while inside the work place.  Exceptions include the following: When an employee is alone in a room with floor to ceiling wa...

COVID VACCINATION UPDATE Federal appeals court reinstates Biden's vaccine mandate for large companies On Friday, Dec. 17, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals  lifted the stay  on the federal government's rule requiring covered employers to ensure workers are vaccinated against the coronavirus or undergo weekly COVID-19 testing.  To give employers time to comply, OSHA will not enforce any requirements under its Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) until Jan. 10.  Weekly COVID-19 testing policies for unvaccinated workers must be implemented by Feb. 9 if the rule is upheld.   Petitions have already been filed with the U.S. Supreme Court, asking to immediately block the mandate. We will continue to watch for updates and share new information as we receive it. Please remind your members, if they are recently vaccinated or have not reported vaccination, to contact Human Resources. PROGRAM MANAGEMENT UPDATE Opportunity to Pre-Launch at b...
