Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) is here. Have you made all of the necessary changes to comply with the Act? As of November 21, 2009, employers are prohibited from discriminating against applicants and employees based upon "genetic information." Genetic information is broadly construed and creates significant implications for procedures governing employee selection and retention, benefits administration, wellness programs and information disclosure.
The labor and employment attorneys at Fisher & Phillips are presenting a webinar designed to help employers comply with GINA's nondiscrimination provisions. Our experts will provide you with a roadmap for compliance along with numerous practical recommendations. These recommendations range from updates to your applicant and employee forms and questionnaires to adjustments to your confidentiality procedures.
This hour long webinar is free, but registration is required. Once your registration is complete you will receive an email confirmation with instructions on how to join the webinar. Participation in this webinar has been approved for one hour of HRCI credit.
