Investigator Training - Medical Records in Employment

Event Description

Deadline to Register: 04/05/19

An employer's request for, or use of, an employee/candidate's medical records raises a host of complicated legal issues and questions under the non-discrimination laws. Many employer employers request medical information for many different reasons; both legal and sometimes illegal. In addition to providing a basic primer, this CLE is aimed at examining when an employer's request or use of medical information goes "too far" and runs afoul of the non-discrimination laws. The panelists will provide examples of what is and is not acceptable language in medical inquiries and requests pre-offer, post-offer, and when an employee requests a reasonable accommodation or FMLA leave. In addition, the panelists will discuss the rules and limitations of medical authorizations and record requests under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act (GINA), and how the limitations and requirements of those acts interest with other state and federal laws.

Investigator Trainings are sponsored by the MSBA Labor & Employment Section and planned for the benefit of investigators at our governmental agencies.

Lunch will be provided. Lunch and registration begin at 11:45 a.m.
