Comments due on EEOC proposal to amend ADA regs

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has published a proposed rule [80 FR 21659] that would amend regulations and guidance under Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as they relate to employer wellness programs. The proposed rule amends the ADA regulations to provide guidance on the extent to which employers may use incentives to encourage employees to participate in wellness programs that include disability-related inquiries and/or medical examinations. Comments on the proposal are due by June 19, 2015.
