your medical records are private. your employer can have access to your medical records only for the direct purpose of employment. for example, an employee requests a 'reasonable accomodation' at work based upon a back injury. the employer would have access to the medical records of the employee to determine if there is a basis for the 'accomodation'. the medical records cannot be shared with the normal employees. ed dimon, esq.
