Earlier this month, the EEOC published a proposed rule which would give employers guidance on how to operate wellness programs that consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"). These proposed rules are paramount in that they would give employers guidelines on how to operate the wellness programs without running into interference with the ADA. This is very important, given the EEOC's tendency to pursue employers recently for alleged ADA violations in regard to employer wellness programs.
At this point, the comment period is open until June 19 for comments as to this proposed rule.
