Abstract
INTRODUCTION|The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly shifted the landscape of employment law in the United States, and it continues to do so. As new COVID-19 variants and challenges arise, so do new questions in the workplace concerning employment policies, government mandates, and compliance. Employers have been forced to constantly adapt to changing legal obligations and keep up with the latest developments.
Beyond the direct threat of the virus, COVID-19 will have a lasting impact on employment law and compliance efforts going forward. This Article addresses the quick evolution of employment law, thus far, during the COVID-19 pandemic with a focus on major congressional legislation and federal agency action impacting employment law. This includes a discussion on the fierce legal battle over COVID-19 vaccine mandates and a look at how existing federal agency frameworks were adapted to novel COVID-19 issues. Finally, this Article establishes how key United States Supreme Court determinations and federal agency response on COVID-19 issues may shape the future of employment agency rules and state responses.
