Paul Kehoe quoted by Politico, “EEOC wellness rule raises more questions”

Paul Kehoe was quoted in an April 16 story from Politico on the recently proposed EEOC regulation which states that employee wellness programs will be deemed ADA-compliant so long as any reward or penalty for participating or not participating doesn’t exceed 30 percent of what the employee would pay to participate in a group health plan. Kehoe discussed one of the unanswered questions from the proposal: how the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act should be applied to employee wellness programs — a question that came up in the Honeywell lawsuit.
