President Joe Biden announced this week that he will require private businesses with 100 or more employees to vaccinate their workforces or else face fines of up to $14,000 per violation.

Under the president’s new order, private companies will be required to give staff paid time off to get the vaccine. Employees will also have the option to test negative for the coronavirus every week.
