HIPPA Help
We are a company with about 70 emoployess and I, part of the HR staff, am in the process of creating an official Leave of Absence form. In this form we are having the employee let us know what they are requesting their leave of absence with the normal what day will be your last day, day to return, etc. What I need to know is if it is in fact this information provided is protected under the HIPPA law. We are going to require that their direct manager sign off on the paperwork before it is submitted but with the explanation of WHY they are going on leave I am not sure that we can do this. Please adivse. Thank you
