HIPAA violation? Seems like it is an invasion of your privacy.
Yup, it’s a big no forkin way!
First, if you don't work for a medical company, then HIPAA doesn't apply.
If you didn't already work there, I'd say don't apply.
If you do, then I'd dare them to fire you or reassign you to a lesser paying job when you say you're not signing the form. Then find a lawyer and allege wrongful discharge. A good lawyer can shoe-horn some reason to get around the at-will employment defense your employer would assert. Age. Sex. Health condition. Religion. Invasion of privacy.
Get enough people together in your same situation and the combination could really mess with the employer en masse and probably get some media attention as well.
Oh also we get covid tests each week. Even after you get the vax you still have to do the covid tests each week. Clown world
What is the job?
Just a typical staff job. Point is, everyone is supposed to sign off on this. There is some scary stuff in there to me, but I'd like some thoughts on people who know more about civil liberties/rights.
Time to update the old resume. Fuck that.

I also vaguely recall some large employers collecting such data to provide the government the info periodically to prove they are not being discriminatory. It is voluntary on the employee’s part. No identifiable info is provided. Call the EEOC.
This is a university in order to get on to campus to work. I’ve been working there for years
I'm not an attorney, but even I can see this is something you should NOT sign.
Not a lawyer, but some job positions require health examination as a condition of employment & subsequent exams may be required. If you are a disabled person and you are having some difficulties at work & they don’t know the nature of your disability they may want you to submit for an exam. If your condition is worsening they could move you to another job or you go retire on disability. If this is a new policy, consult an attorney. There are state & federal agencies or organizations on employment and/or disability rights where you can get more information & guidance.
