President Joe Biden announced Thursday that all companies with 100 employees or more must require staff to be vaccinated with the COVID vaccine by January 4.
Unvaccinated employees must provide weekly tests that prove they are negative. The company will not pay for those tests unless you have a medical or religious exemption.
The employees who do not get vaccinated also must wear a mask.
Fines for non-compliance will vary based on a company's size and other factors. A company might have to pay up to $13,653 per individual violator or up to $136,532 for willful violation of the rules.
Ann Juliano, a Villanova University law professor who specializes in employment law, spoke to Action News about Biden's announcement.
"Employers have no choice, they have to follow federal law," said Juliano.
