The Biden Administration’s vaccine requirement goes into effect January 4, and many employers across the country are awaiting to hear whether the Supreme Court, which hears arguments on the mandate on January 7, will ultimately allow the rule to go into effect. Currently, the federal mandate requires employers with 100 or more employees to ensure that workers are fully vaccinated or that they undergo weekly testing.&nbsp;Starbucks was the most recent company to announce that it is requiring workers to be fully vaccinated by February 9 or show weekly testing results per the requirements of the administration’s mandate. <a href="https://www.qsrmagazine.com/fast-food/starbucks-require-full-vaccination-or-weekly-testing?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=restaurants-preparing-to-implement-vaccine-mandates-issued-by-biden-administration-as-supreme-court-hears-arguments-2717578" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">QSR Magazine</a> said that a letter from Starbucks Chief Operating Officer John Culver states that the brand’s nearly 228,000 employees must show their vaccination status by January 10, 2022. The employees who opt for weekly testing rather than vaccination will be responsible for paying for their tests and submitting their own results.&nbsp;“This is an important step we can take to help more partners get vaccinated, limit the spread of COVID-19 and create choices that partners can own based on what’s best for them,” said Culver. “If vaccination rates rise and community spread slows, we will adapt accordingly. But if things get worse, we may have to consider additional measures. For now, my hope is that we will all do our part to protect one another.”&nbsp;Employees who do test positive will be given two rounds of paid isolation time, each up to five days.The federal mandate has already been tested at the judicial level, when the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit determined that the administration had the power to enforce a vaccine mandate. As of right now, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is giving employers until January 10 before fining businesses for failure to comply.As the country waits to find out what the Supreme Court will do, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration said that a wait-and-see approach is appropriate until a determination is made by the Court.
