INFORMATION
Training Overview

Discover the legal privacy issues of COVID-19. Understand what you can ask, reveal, and require of employees.

Employers are increasingly concerned about the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace. Outbreaks often result from inadequate sanitization, a failure to follow safety procedures, and employees who come to work ill.

While you need to ensure that employees follow protocols and infected colleagues remain home, you must be cautious about privacy laws. There are limitations on what health information you may request and what requirements you may impose.
