For those employers who do fall under the OSHA ETS, there are 10 basic requirements for employers to follow, and Sage HRMS can help! Sage HRMS has created 3 custom detail pages specifically to work with the new ETS and track the required information.  - COVID Summary - includes the current vaccination status, testing requirement, and testing dates ![OSHA ETS Sage HRMS](https://www.equationtech.us/hs-fs/hubfs/OSHA%20ETS%20Sage%20HRMS.png?width=429&name=OSHA%20ETS%20Sage%20HRMS.png) - COVID Vaccinations – includes multiple rows to capture each vaccine occurrence - COVID Testing – includes multiple rows to capture each test result Additionally, HRMS has 7 user defined code tables for test category, test result, test type, testing status, vaccine mfg, vaccine status, and vaccine type. Everything employers need to track and report on for the new ETS is available in HRMS.  What specifically are employers required to do?  1. Create a vaccination policy that allows employees either: 1. To get vaccinated, or 2. Undergo weekly Covid-19 testing and wear a mask while at the workplace 2. Track the vaccination status of each employee and obtain acceptable proof of vaccination. Status can be: 1. Fully vaccinated 2. Partially vaccinated 3. Not vaccinated 4. Not vaccinated due to medical or religious accommodation ![OSHA ETS Sage HRMS COVID](https://www.equationtech.us/hs-fs/hubfs/OSHA%20ETS%20Sage%20HRMS%20COVID.png?width=797&name=OSHA%20ETS%20Sage%20HRMS%20COVID.png) 1. Support vaccination of employees by providing PTO during business hours for the employee to get vaccinated, and reasonable sick leave to recover from side effects of the vaccination 2. Ensure weekly Covid-19 testing for unvaccinated employees 1. Diagnostic testing – acceptable 2. Antibody testing – not acceptable 3. Require employees to provide immediate notice to employer if they receive a positive Covid-19 test 4. Immediately remove any employee from the workplace, regardless of vaccination status, who has received a positive Covid-19 test 5. Ensure unvaccinated employees wear a face covering: 1. When indoors 2. When occupying a vehicle with another person for work purposes 6. Provide each employee, in a language and with terminology the employee understands, with information about the requirements of the ETS and the benefits of being vaccinated 7. Upon learning about them, report work-related Covid-19 fatalities and Covid-19 in-patient hospitalizations to the OSHA 1. Fatalities – within 8 hours 2. Hospitalizations – within 24 hours 8. Make records available to employee or employee’s representative ![OSHA ETS Sage HRMS COVID Vaccine](https://www.equationtech.us/hs-fs/hubfs/OSHA%20ETS%20Sage%20HRMS%20COVID%20Vaccine.png?width=652&name=OSHA%20ETS%20Sage%20HRMS%20COVID%20Vaccine.png) At the time of this writing (Dec, 2021) the timeline for implementation of the ETS has been delayed by litigation.  However, OSHA remains confident in its authority to protect workers, and that this ETS will move forward soon.  Be ready!  Read the full text of the ETS [here](https://www.osha.gov/coronavirus/ets2) and [contact](mailto:info@equationtech.us?subject=OSHA%20ETS%20and%20HRMS%20Inquiry) Equation to get HRMS for your company.  866-436-3530.     ### Related Articles ##### [Sage 300 & Windows 10 End of Life: What You Need to Know](https://www.equationtech.us/sage-accpac-blog/sage-300-windows-10-end-of-life-what-you-need-to-know) There’s been a lot of conversation lately around Windows 10 end of life and what that means for... ##### [From Start-Up to Quarter Billion – How Sage 300 Scaled Success](https://www.equationtech.us/sage-accpac-blog/from-start-up-to-quarter-billion-how-sage-300-scaled-success) We also have a [video version](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ssdM9iHt6Wz86A-VDvAER03NdXkAodg9/view?usp=sharing) of this article, where you can hear directly from one of our ERP... ##### [How to Simplify Payroll and Job Costing with Sage 300](https://www.equationtech.us/sage-accpac-blog/how-to-simplify-payroll-and-job-costing-with-sage-300) Getting payroll to play nice with your job costing system is like fitting a square peg into a round... ## Need Help Now?
