14:00 ET Employers Scramble to Adhere to White House Vaccine Mandate as OSHA Gets Closer to Nationwide Implementation

WILMINGTON, N.C., Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Businesses, colleges, and universities with 100+ employees are making last-ditch efforts to express concerns to the White House about uncertainty on how to verify their employees' vaccination status in order to adhere to new COVID-19 workplace rules. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is currently reviewing text of an emergency vaccine rule submitted recently by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that carries fines up to $14,000 per violation of the complex mandate.

The emergency rule is the linchpin of the White House's six-pronged action plan for increasing COVID-19 vaccinations throughout organizations across the nation in a plethora of industries including health care and higher education. With OSHA another step closer to fully implementing the vaccine mandate, HR professionals are faced with timely challenges to collect and validate documentation related to vaccinations and legally permissible waivers across entire workforces, without violating federal, state, and international data privacy laws.

Questions to be answered by employers in coming days include:

• Who received a vaccine and when?
• Which vaccine was it?
• Is a booster required?
• For those who don't have the vaccine, do they have a legally permissible waiver?

Releasing its first COVID-19 solution in April 2020 to help organizations mitigate risk, CastleBranch has identified another stumbling block for these large employers. If the company's vaccination record review process is not carefully documented, creating a secure audit trail, they may be at risk for thousands of dollars in fines per incident in the event of an alleged violation, putting that company's economic survival in jeopardy.
