A secret\n\nYou can have a secret, but if you share a secret, it's no longer "secret" so you no longer have it.

Your employer is within their rights to request a written documentation of your work restrictions or modifications from your physician. Your physician does not have to give them further details but it will ease your way with your employer if you can indeed back up the restrictions with a diagnosis at least. Companies are required to treat medical information with confidentiality and most companies will even keep medically related information in a separate file from your personnel folder.\n\nIf your restrictions are a result of a worker's compensation claim, then your employer is entitled to a diagnosis and as well any work restrictions or modifications as well as an expected return to work estimate. This can be extended, amended or you can be released from these restrictions by your physician at any time.\n\nIf your company is unable to accommodate your work restrictions they must attempt to find a comparable position for you within the company or, if work comp related, you will be placed on what's known as temporary total disability.\n\nDiscuss your fears and any concerns with your physician. They should be well versed in your states medical disclosure laws as well as HIPPA compliance.

I believe that can only happen if the company you're working for has written guidelines dictating the permissibility of such practices.  The best way to find out would be to check with management regarding company policies (most companies will have a written list they hand out to new employees regarding such matters).  If something like that isn't given out, then I would assume (from personal experience) that it's ok, but best kept discreet.  I've had several relationships that originated in the work place and never had repercussions from any of them.  Best to check with management though.

You can possibly get access if there is a secret question to answer or your have an email address the info can be  sent to in cases like this.\n\nIf not you'll have to contact the department that handles this issue.

I'm in nursing and I've heard nurses say things they definately shouldn't say, and then I've seen some be very descreet. I live in a small town so I make it my business to be in nobody's business, but if at any time you feel your confidentiality has been violated you can phone the hospital administrator or talk to a lawyer.

One that you may be familiar with - is email private?  Not at work (your boss is legally allowed to look at your emails on his business machinery because he is legally responsible for their content).  How 'bout at home?  A court order can allow anyone to look at them (to the extent of the court order).  Are your telephone conversations private?  Is messaging private?  If you work for the phone company and have the knowledge and means to eavesdrop, should you?  Suppose you overheard something to your advantage such as a stock tip?  If you're the engineer, should you leave a 'back-door' into the network for later use?  Basically, don't do something that you wouldn't feel comfortable defending in front of a judge.

Absolutely. They have the right to make sure that you aren't passing insider information about the company. I have one, but I do not give my last name, nor do I post any information that can say what company I work for, so they can't come at me for giving away information.
