GNYADA Reschedules Annual Meeting & Charity Golf Outing 2

NEW DATE: AUGUST 3, 2015

When: August 3, 2015 I Time: 10:00am-11:30am I Where: Old Westbury Golf & Country Club

On May 27, 2015 the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) released new Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) notices and medical certifi- cation forms which employers should now be using. The new model forms are valid through May 31, 2018. The new FMLA forms incorporate the requirements of employers and healthcare providers under the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) of 2008. This makes it illegal for an employer to discriminate against employees on the basis of genetic information. For the first time in more than 20 years of membership golfing events, the Association had to cancel its GNYADA Golf Charity Outing due to heavy rain conditions. Over the last several years, this has become a sold out event, and a great many people were looking forward to enjoying a day of great golf, spectac- ular food and loads of prizes and gifts to finish the day. Not to Fret We have been able to secure a new date, Monday, August 3rd. We hope you’ll be able to join your fellow Association members for breakfast and the Annual GNYADA Meeting at Old Westbury Golf & Country

GINA also prohibits requesting, requiring or purchasing genetic infor- mation and strictly limits its disclo- sure. Updated Forms Consistent with GINA, the new forms also include language that is designed to protect employers from inadvertent disclosure of genetic information. FMLA rules and forms can be found at http://www.dol.gov/whd/fmla/ The new forms are: WH-380-E Certification of Health Care Provider for Employee’s Serious Health Condition Club on Long Island. You’ll also be able to hear some of the important news impacting new car dealers and support the new Board of Directors, who will be sworn in that morning. Please feel free to contact the Association if you have any ques- tions regarding this meeting. Dinner tickets are still available. Attendees are eligible to win a wide selection of great prizes, including an Apple Watch Sport and, the grand prize, a new Breitling Watch. To register for the meeting, contact Phyllis Aguilar at 718.746.5900 or email her at phyllisA@gnyada.com .
