Thank you, great info! So if I wanted to keep my unvaccinated state to myself, my employer would never know. Now what if I tell my employer I’m vaccinated. Can they go to the medical facility or Insurance to find out if I really am?
Just looking at the various options. I suppose someone can say it’s none of your business, fire me and we will go to court. But most aren’t likely to do that. Or if one says that they lost their piece of paper. I suppose the employer can just say go get another one or don’t show up to work.
So it’s still not sounding good. Especially not with the Supreme Court Justices we have.
Very true!
I was actually talking about the latter sentence that Spirit wrote. That her being so picky about accuracy and factual info wasn’t just about Hippa, lol!
Thanks for the report.
I saw a headline yesterday that unemployed in Florida are suing because their $300 month FUTA was discontinued. Doesn’t take long for people to become entitled.
But not the Maricopa County account?
I think the expanded response I gave covers the first question; let me know if it doesn’t.
As for the second....you’re correct, it depends. Assuming the laws of the state and if you’re in a union, because it’s really labor law.
Example: I have a CDL and currently working as a truck driver. I’m diagnosed with epilepsy (I’m not, just example). I am on seizure medication and I’m seizure free. By law, I can’t hold a CDL until I’ve been off medication and am seizure-free for 10 years. I’m not sure, but I think a doctor is required to report to the DMV when anyone is diagnosed with epilepsy. DMV will yank my license and my employer notified. Therefore, my employer has the right to terminate me since I can’t perform my job.
Mental health is a bit different, because mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities is defined as a disability under ADA. Therefore more job protections are afforded. At that point, the employer has to make ‘reasonable accommodations’ for the employee.
It’s hard for an employer to know they need to make those reasonable accommodations if the employee doesn’t tell them that they have the issue. But still, the employer couldn’t contact the doctor, pharmacy or insurance provider and ask what drugs they’re on, what’s the prognosis, etc. Even if they’re trying to determine how best to accommodate the employee. The employee would have to give written permission for the employer to get info from these people. In fact, HIPAA for mental health issues is more stringent than for physical issues.
So if I had a mental health issue that needs accommodation, I would tell my employer so that I get the accommodation I need. But I wouldn’t be telling them what drugs I actually take.
Sad but true.
Crap

What are the odds that there is an Ivy League MBA somewhere in the equation?
And isn't it against the law to refuse currency as payment?
If businesses can do that how long before they refuse your business unless you pay with some form of alternate currency - like BitCoin?
Probably next
Boy, are they afraid of the truth!!!
Well this should be good. The left will send in all of its voters....except the dead ones. That leaves BLM and Antifa.
Excellent points, Vlad!!!!
“I know are helping my dry eyes are the expensive ones.”
What vitamins are those?
That is disgusting behavior. No security? I expect to see whistlers at more events, that a$$ was so successful.
Would we get away with this at a dem presser? I’d like to find out.
PRN DE3 fish oil, jarrow borage oil, and PharmaNord seabuckthorn oil.
For the fish oil and sea buckthorn, only those 2 brands work. I’ve tested all the cheaper ones and unfortunately they did nothing. The borage oil might be okay from a different manufacturer, but the difference in price isn’t that much.
Do you have dry eyes?
That little creep in the yellow shirt that was doing the tweeting right in Lis Willis’ face and ear is sure lucky I wasn’t there.
I would have slapped the tar out of him.
They can’t go to the medical facility or insurance to find out, no. Even if they did, how would they know who to ask? You can get the vaccine at just about any pharmacy. And if you don’t provide an insurance card, the government pays for the vaccine anyway. The form you fill out to get the vaccine does ask if you have insurance and you sign attesting you don’t have insurance if you don’t provide insurance info. Whether anyone would get in trouble for saying no insurance when they do, I have no clue.
An insurance company is not going to willingly violate HIPAA. That fine and prison time I mentioned would be for me personally, not my employer. Willful violations by an entity can be up to $1.5 million per incident.
And not even willful can get a large fine. Remember the story a couple of years back about hackers getting into Premera Blue Cross, getting access to PHI (anything that can identify back to you individually) but no claims info? That one incident got Premera Blue Cross a $6,850,000 fine.
However, your employer can ask you to provide proof, as far as I know. Just like some employers take you at your word you were off work sick, and some employers require you to bring a doctor’s note.
Maricopa County has been basically tweeting that their election was good and the audit is hogwash.
Ok, I can read cursive (or just about anything) but I thought it said ‘Since this younger generation has a hard time reading crusoe, we older folks attack at dawn.’
Then I was like ‘Wait, wut?? What does Robinson Crusoe have to do with anything?’. 😄
