"This case will limit ADA claims by retirees against their former employers, but ... Justice Gorsuch opined ... that retired employees may be able to proceed with ADA claims if they can plead and prove that they were disabled and a 'qualified individual' under the ADA when their employer adopted a discriminatory retirement benefits policy, even if they later happen to be retired when they bring suit."

"None of the choices available to employers ... are perfect solutions ... One option would be to remove all language requiring the employee to keep the terms of the severance confidential and all language prohibiting the employee from disparaging the employer.... Another alternative would be to narrowly tailor the confidentiality and nondisparagement provisions, while adding language making clear that nothing in the agreement is intended to impinge on any employee's Section 7 rights."

"What should employers be doing now? Continue to plan for how the health plan will meet the new Play or Pay rules in 2015. Prepare HR personnel to respond to questions about the new Marketplace and to confirm employee data and coverage if requested by the Marketplace to help determine an employee's eligibility for premium subsidies. Decide on a method to determine if variable hour employees are full-time and therefore subject to the Play or Pay rules.... Make sure the plan documents and summary plan descriptions are updated to reflect the required changes."
