All areas of the law are explained -- from confidentiality and disclosure, to reasonable accommodation, retaliation, family members, and more.

With special emphasis on what the EEOC considers compliant and noncompliant practices, Q&As help your agency avoid GINA violations by providing specific guidance on how to:

• Handle genetic information inadvertently received from employees
• Determine if the agency may access employee information on a social media source
• Structure wellness programs that include incentives for which employees are induced to reveal genetic information
• Establish a compliant procedure for FMLA certification
