The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act: What Employers Need to Know Now to Comply Training Seminar
The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) - a new federal anti-bias measure that's just become law - raises as many questions for nervous employers as it tries to answer for employees.
On its surface, GINA prohibits employers and health insurers from using genetic data (such as a worker's family medical history) when making insurance decisions. And, you cannot hire, fire, or treat employees differently based on this type of information.
However, many employment law experts worry that this new law could pave the way for expensive lawsuits and claims from workers who don't agree with medical coverage decisions or the terms of their health insurance.
