Six in 10 employers say they plan to impose penalties in the next few years on employees who don't take action to improve their health, according to a recent study of 800 mid- to large-size firms by human-resources consultancy Aon Hewitt. A separate study by the National Business Group on Health and Towers Watson found that the share of employers who plan to impose penalties is likely to double to 36% in 2014.
根據(jù)人力資源咨詢公司怡安翰威特(Aon Hewitt)最近對800家大中型企業(yè)的研究，六成企業(yè)的老板說他們計劃在今后幾年里對不采取行動改善自身健康狀況的員工實施懲戒。由美國企業(yè)員工健康組織(National Business Group on Health)和韜睿惠悅公司開展的另一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，到2014年，計劃實施懲戒措施的雇主比例很可能會翻番，達(dá)到36%。
Current law permits companies to use health-related rewards or penalties as long as the amount doesn't exceed 20% of the cost of the employee's health coverage. John Hancock, a veteran labor and employment attorney at Butzel Long, a Detroit-based law firm, says that while companies can't legally dock a worker's pay for a health issue, they can tie an employee's health-care bill to whether the worker meets or misses health goals. As long as employers offer exemptions for workers with conditions that prevent them from meeting health goals, the firms are in the clear.
當(dāng)前的法律允許企業(yè)實施與健康相關(guān)的獎勵或處罰手段，只要數(shù)額不超過員工醫(yī)療保險費的20%。約翰•漢考克(John Hancock)是總部位于底特律的柏隆律師事務(wù)所(Butzel Long)一位勞動用工方面的資深律師，他說雖然企業(yè)不能因為健康問題合法降低員工的工資，但它們可以把員工的醫(yī)療保健賬單與員工是否達(dá)到健康目標(biāo)掛鉤。只要企業(yè)為那些身體狀況致其無法達(dá)到健康目標(biāo)的員工提供了免費額度，從法律角度來說就沒有任何問題。
The situation is less clear if, for example, a company ends up singling out obese employees by charging them more for health coverage. If the obesity is linked to an underlying condition, the employer may be liable for discrimination, Mr. Hancock says.
假如一家公司最后單單挑出長得胖的員工收取更多的醫(yī)療保險費用，情況就不那么明朗了。漢考克說，如果員工的肥胖與身體的基本狀況有關(guān)系，老板可能就有歧視之嫌。
