OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard Mandating Covid-19 Vaccines or Testing Clears Key Review Step

Published November 01, 2021 ■ Headline News

The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Covid-19 vaccination and testing mandate for employers with 100 or more workers has been cleared by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. OMB review generally is the last step in the review process setting the stage for official publication, which could come in days. Business groups, including ASA, have been meeting with the Biden administration to discuss their concerns with the ETS. In its meeting with officials last month, ASA asserted, among other things, that the high turnover of staffing agency temporary employees would impose disproportionately high testing costs and proposed that the ETS exclude employees expected to work fewer than 30 days. Recent reports suggested that the final ETS will allow employers to pass testing costs on to their employees, which would address those concerns. Any rule that is issued is expected to face immediate legal challenges that would almost certainly delay implementation.

Published November 01, 2021 ■ Headline News

ASA has published a new issue paper that discusses the recently issued government rules that, with limited exceptions, require employees working “on or in connection with” a federal contract to be vaccinated, wear masks, and maintain physical distance.

The authors are federal contract experts with the Washington, DC, law firm of Miller & Chevalier, which represents ASA on tax and other complex federal regulatory matters.

Court Dismisses Background Check Class Action Against Staffing Firms

Published June 08, 2021 ■ Legal Watch

A Georgia District Court recently denied class certification in a Fair Credit Reporting Act class action case against two staffing firms, holding that although the staffing firm that procured candidates’ background checks was not listed on the FCRA authorization documents, such staffing firm was an authorized agent of the listed staffing firm. Therefore, the staffing firm defendants fulfilled the FCRA’s statutory notice and authorization prerequisites and the plaintiff lacked standing to bring the class action.

Staffing firms conducting and using criminal background checks are subject to complex requirements, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act and guidelines from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and staffing firms should carefully review their FCRA disclosure documents with knowledgeable legal counsel to ensure compliance.
