Eleventh Circuit Affirms Wellness Program Complies with Americans with Disabilities Act (PDF)
Buck Aug. 23, 2012
"The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the lower court's ruling that the wellness program constitutes a bona fide benefit plan because it is part of a condition or 'a term' under the County's group health insurance plan. Although this is a positive outcome for employers, questions -- and risks -- remain. This case does not bind courts outside the Eleventh Circuit (Alabama, Florida, and Georgia) or the EEOC to make similar rulings. So, for example, other courts could reject the bona fide benefit plan safe harbor and rule on the voluntary wellness program exception issue."
