DOL Advises That FLSA Does Not Require Compensation for Time Spent in Various Wellness Activities
Thomson Reuters / EBIA Link to more items from this source
[Guidance Overview]
Sept. 28, 2018
"[DOL Opinion Letter FLSA 2018-20] does not mention health-risk assessments, but it gives no reason to believe that such assessments would be evaluated using different standards. Nor does the letter mention the regulation concerning 'attendance at lectures, meetings, training programs, and similar activities,' perhaps because that regulation applies only to attendance outside of regular working hours, and the employer requesting the letter indicated that the activities could also occur during working hours. Finally, ... this letter accepts, without explanation, that rewarding wellness program participation with lower health plan deductibles and premiums would not make participation in the wellness activities involuntary."
