Generally, no. Employees are entitled to medical privacy. Employers are entitled to medical certification of an employee's fitness for duty but they cannot require an employee to sign a general release of all their medical records subject to threats of termination.
If your employer is threatening you, you should see an employment lawyer immediately. |
