Employee Health and Medical Information – Management versus Privacy

Event Speakers

The balancing of interests - management’s right to obtain medical and health information/reports/certificates versus the employee’s right to privacy – will be examined in the context of short absences, disability claims, accommodation requests and excessive absenteeism.

Best practices for the process of obtaining information, including when to ask for the FCE or the IME, privacy compliant consent language, and when/how to disclose information to unions or allow use by managers will be covered. The appropriate employer response when employees refuse to provide information will also be outlined.

Cost: $350 ($367.50 including GST). Payment must be made in advance by credit card or cheque (Payable to: Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP).
