EEOC Wellness Program Regulations: What Do They Say, and How Will They Impact Your Wellness Programs?

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently issued two final rules governing how the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) apply to employee wellness programs. The rules provide guidance on how employers can comply with these anti-discrimination statutes in designing and implementing their wellness programs, as well as how these new rules comport with the existing DOL wellness rules. Important differences between the treatment of wellness programs in the regulations issued by the EEOC and those issued by the Department of Labor (DOL) make the task of designing compliant wellness programs more complex.

Despite the finalization of these rules, many questions regarding wellness programs still remain. This complimentary webinar will:

• Explain the EEOC’s final wellness regulations
• Explain the differences between the EEOC's new wellness rules and those issued under ERISA, and what this means for employers
• Discuss the EEOC’s view of the ADA “safe harbor” language
• Provide tips for 2017 benefit plan design
