Workers who choose the testing option may have to bear the cost. They also will be required to wear a face mask on the job beginning Dec. 5.

The rules fill in the details for the vaccination requirement President Joe Biden announced in September for businesses with 100 or more employees.

The Labor Department is taking feedback over the next month on whether smaller workplaces should be included.
