Prohibition of discrimination under employment law

(1) The employer may not discriminate against employees, in an agreement or measure — in particular in establishing the employment relationship, in career advancement, in an instruction, or in terminating the employment relationship — on account of their own genetic characteristics or those of a genetically related person. This also applies where employees refuse to have genetic examinations or analyses carried out on themselves, or to disclose the results of genetic examinations or analyses already carried out.
(2) Sections 15 and 22 of the General Equal Treatment Act apply accordingly.
