> How should employers respond when they learn that an employee is planning a trip to West Africa to visit family?
Shoot the idiot.
That's easy. First day back from West Africa, you fire the employee for poor performance. Whether that is lateness, gossiping instead of working, or something else, you give a warning in the morning and catch the employee again not working productively in the afternoon. There is a 100% chance that someone just back from those three countries will have nonproductive time on the first day, even after a warning. Then you fire him for cause.
I am more than tired of the government getting into the employer-employee relationship, and I can completely understand finding ways around unjust laws. A whole lot of what FedGov does has no legitimacy, and we have no moral obligation to comply, just to make sure we cannot be caught.
1. Fire the person for other reasons, always job-related (the same when you choose not to hire someone - NEVER give a reason, not even in a private conversation with a third party).
2. Never disclose to anyone, not even your lawyer, your business partner, or your spouse, why someone was fired . . . if the real reason is anything other than performance.
3. Solve the problem quickly if it can affect the bottom line (and spreading a deadly disease to your customers or employees certainly qualifies).
1) Recheck his citizenship and right to work here
2) Fire him for whatever reason will satisfy a court
There is no reason for anyone going into the hot zone unless they are there to provide medical support.
Unlike Soviet Russia where disappearance was a known fact, there are relatives and friends in our society who would report the disappearance. They all be bought off or brought to concentration camps.
Many of these bad laws came about due to the coddling of AIDS victims. For example, the right to be anonymous while carrying a deadly disease, while the feds ask you but don’t require you to tell a partner or dentist or caregiver.
The other cause of the insanity on medical privacy is due to abortion. Like the privacy laws so your spouse or parents cannot find out you had an abortion or STD, though they may have to pay the bill for “medical services”.
While I can sympathize with the sentiment the cops would tend to frown on that option.
