I have read their opinion, their statement is more unclear. They say that their is nothing in employment law that prevents requiring an approved vaccine but that it was up to the FDA and other bodies to make the call regarding EUA vaccines. It was confusing and misreported in the press. Their release would have been better rid they said upfront "we don't know if employers can require you to take a EUA vaccine". These payments to take it might be a form of risk reduction from the companies perspective, as you can get a waiver in return for the payment.

There are quite a few weasel words/phrases in their statement but I would assume it would be enough air cover for any organization who wanted to do so to be able to claim they believed they had the power to require a shot. And any employee disagreeing would have to go to court--and maybe get a judge's ruling in a year or two after paying a bunch of legal fees. Not very practical for a fast food worker or cashier. And there are precedents for vaccines being required.
