[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 910048, member: 18471"] You don't have to tell them anything. This is covered by HIPPA, the Health Insurance Portability and Privacy Act. This was set up years ago when they started COBRA benefits. (it's also a protection for people with HIV). If you call in sick, that's all they have to know. NOT, "What's wrong?" If you're out for an operation or something they can require a return to work physical, then of course the doctor giving the physical can ask what kind of operation and I'm sure HR would get a copy but if it becomes the topic of discussion around the water cooler, someone could get sued. (if you could find out who leaked the info) [/QUOTE]
