EEOC Approves Incentives for Worker Wellness Plans
On June 11, 2020, the EEOC commissioners voted 2-1 to move forward with a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for wellness programs. The EEOC did not actually publish the NPRM and adoption of a final rule is a long way off, in terms of time and procedural steps that must be completed along the way, but the discussion at the June 11 public hearing provided some insight into where the Commission seems to be headed. Before looking at what we understand from the June 11 meeting, a brief review of where we are may be helpful.
