ADA Wellness Incentive Limits

Meaning

These limits delineate the maximum financial or in-kind reward employers can offer within a wellness program without violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA restricts incentives tied to disability-related inquiries or medical examinations, ensuring that participation in such health screenings, like hormonal panel assessments, remains genuinely voluntary. Compliance is crucial to prevent penalizing individuals who may have an underlying endocrine disorder classified as a disability under the statute. Maintaining this balance supports inclusive wellness initiatives while protecting individual physiological and diagnostic autonomy.
