EEOC Ordered to Reconsider Wellness Rules

The US District Court for the District of Columbia has ordered the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to review and revise its rules governing penalties that employers can place upon employees who refuse to participate in worksite wellness programs, including those who refuse to disclose protected disability or genetic information. The ruling was the latest result in a suit brought by the American Association of Retired Persons, or AARP.
