DOL withdraws Fact Sheet 84 re pay for vaccine and related time

Saying it had made a mistake by publishing Fact Sheet 84 explaining the compensability of time related to vaccines, testing, etc., the DOL cautions that the content of its now-withdrawn Fact Sheet 84 may in fact end up stating correctly its views. Apparently the publication of the Fact Sheet was premature in that the DOL failed to incorporate its withdrawal of OSHA’s prior large-employer mandate rules (the former so-called OSHA ETS). As SHRM has pointed out in its own article regarding this maneuver by the DOL, former Fact Sheet 84 was arguably consistent with DOL’s other guidances regarding these topics and such time possibly being compensable.
