WARNING: DOL Moves the Goalposts on FFCRA for Healthcare Providers
When the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (“FFCRA”) was passed, healthcare providers breathed a sigh of relief to see that an exception had been carved out for them regarding the mandatory leave provisions of the law. This exclusion permitted entities with less than 500 employees to exclude “health care providers” from mandatory leave provisions. The first rules to interpret this provision defined “health care providers” in such a manner that all employees of a healthcare provider that itself met the definition would also meet the exclusion.

EEOC Not Feeling So Well After Loss over Wellness Program
In prior blogs, I discussed pending cases that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) was bringing against wellness programs in the interim before clear guidance was given by the agency on how to craft these programs. Wellness programs, expanded and encouraged under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”), run the risk of triggering provisions of federal antidiscrimination laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (“GINA”), according to the EEOC. EEOC brought several high-profile cases against employers in the enactment of their wellness programs, highlighting the bounds of what they view as accepted policy in employer wellness programs. In what is a sure to be a setback for the EEOC, however, it recently lost one of those cases at the trial level. More >
