Frank C. Morris, Jr., a Member of the Firm in the Litigation and Employee Benefits practices, in the firm’s Washington, DC, office, was quoted in SHRM.org, in “EEOC Wellness Rules Apply for Now,” by Allen Smith.
Following is an excerpt:
Frank Morris Jr., an attorney with Epstein Becker Green in Washington, D.C., agreed that the decision is “excellent news for employers because an injunction at the very end of 2016 would have created chaos for wellness plans with plan years commencing on or after Jan. 1.” He believes “the various factors that [the court] identified in denying a preliminary injunction strongly suggest that it will ultimately reject the request for a permanent injunction.”
